The US government filed an amicus brief in the copyright lawsuit between OpenAI and The New York Times, arguing that copyright restrictions on AI training threaten national security. Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward Jr, Trump appointee, signed the filing, which echoes OpenAI's arguments that fair use should permit training on copyrighted texts. The New York Times criticized the brief, saying AI companies should pay for content. The case began in December 2023; amicus briefs are due by October 16, 2026.
