OpenAI calls for US government to codify ‘fair use’ for AI training


OpenAI is calling on the U.S. government to adopt a copyright policy that allows training of AI models on IP-protected data.

It’s not the first time OpenAI, which has trained manyof its models on openly available web data, often without the data owners’ knowledge or consent, has argued for more permissive laws and regulations around AI training. Last year, OpenAI said in a submission to the U.K.’s House of Lords that limiting AI training to public domain content “might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today’s citizens.” The content owners who’ve sued OpenAI for copyright infringement will no doubt take issue with the company’s latest reassertion of this stance.
