The Trump administration has filed a brief supporting OpenAI in its copyright dispute with The New York Times and other newspapers over the use of their work to train AI models. The government said AI training generally qualifies as fair use of copyrighted material, potentially strengthening the position of technology companies facing similar lawsuits.
The Trump administration has backed OpenAI in its copyright dispute with The New York Times and other newspapers, arguing that training artificial intelligence models generally constitutes fair use of copyrighted material.
The government filed the brief Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, marking what appears to be the first time the U.S. government has weighed in on the growing number of copyright cases over AI training.

The dispute centers on OpenAI’s use of published works to train the large language models behind ChatGPT. Copyright owners, including authors, publishers, music labels and news organizations, have brought lawsuits challenging the use of their material to develop AI systems.
The administration’s position could bolster technology companies as they defend against those claims and as courts determine how copyright law applies to AI training.
The New York Times is among the publishers pursuing claims against OpenAI. The material provided does not include details of the newspaper’s damages claims, the government’s specific legal arguments or responses from OpenAI or The New York Times.
