OpenAI has proposed to the US government to recognize the principle of 'fair use' in the context of AI training to support the development of the field.
OpenAI's New Initiative
OpenAI emphasizes the importance of allowing AI training to use copyrighted materials as a crucial component for maintaining the US's innovative leadership in artificial intelligence.
Understanding 'Fair Use'
'Fair use' in the US allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission, for purposes like research or teaching. OpenAI believes AI training falls under this due to its transformative nature.
Key Aspects of the Copyright Dispute
Content owners are concerned about the use of their materials in AI training, seeing it as copyright infringement. The debates involve applying old laws to new technologies, requiring a new legal interpretation.
OpenAI continues to advocate for a balance between innovation and copyright protection, which is vital for the sustainable development of the industry.
