DOJ Backs OpenAI in Copyright Dispute With The New York Times

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a court brief supporting OpenAI in its ongoing copyright lawsuit with The New York Times. The department argued that OpenAI's use of NYT articles to train its artificial intelligence systems was legally permissible. Officials also contended that maintaining American dominance in AI technology is a matter of national security. The filing marks a notable intervention by the federal government in a high-profile intellectual property battle between a major news organization and a leading AI company.
