The Trump‑era administration has publicly supported OpenAI in its legal battle with The New York Times over alleged copyright infringement. In a move that underscores the broader policy debate over AI training data, White House officials and the Department of Justice have signaled that they will defend the company’s use of copyrighted text in its language models. The Times claims that OpenAI’s GPT‑4 scraped large amounts of its content without permission, while OpenAI argues that the data falls under fair use and that the company has taken steps to mitigate potential harm. The case highlights the growing clash between tech firms and media outlets over the boundaries of AI training and intellectual property.
