The Trump administration is still asking for public comment on their AI Action plan. And, wouldn’t you know it? OpenAI has more than a few thoughts it would like to share with the US government. Namely, it would quite like its AI products to continue to be allowed to scrape copyrighted material, please and thank you.
Ahead of the March 15 deadline, OpenAI set out a number of proposals for the US government, which the company also shared in summary on its public blog. The point that stands out to me is titled “A copyright strategy that promotes the freedom to learn,” which encourages the US government to “avoid forfeiting our AI lead to the [People's Republic of China] by preserving American AI models’ ability to learn from copyrighted material.”
