The Trump administration has thrown its weight behind OpenAI in a high‑profile New York Times lawsuit that alleges the AI firm violated copyright by using the newspaper’s articles to train its chatbots. Officials argue that the data‑scraping practices fall under the First Amendment and that restricting AI developers could stifle innovation and free speech. The case pits major media outlets, which claim their content is being harvested without permission, against tech companies defending the legality of large‑scale text mining. As the legal battle unfolds, it could set a precedent for how copyrighted material is used in the rapidly expanding artificial‑intelligence industry.
