AI's Future in US: OpenAI, Google vs. Media Alliance on Copyright Protections
The future of AI and copyright protection in the US is under scrutiny. Fox News and other media outlets have been reporting on the proposals by OpenAI and Google to weaken restrictions, while the News/Media Alliance and Hollywood leaders urge the administration to maintain strong protections. The new AI Action Plan, due in July, aims to balance innovation and existing copyright laws.
In January, President Trump signed an executive order, 'Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence', to boost the US's AI dominance. Now, the new administration is crafting an AI Action Plan to foster innovation while preventing burdensome regulations. The central question: can the government balance AI progress with established copyright protections?
OpenAI and Google have submitted proposals endorsing the relaxation of copyright restrictions on AI training. They advocate for a right for US AI companies to train models on publicly available data with fewer restrictions. However, they face significant legal challenges from news publishers and content creators over copyright infringement claims.
The News/Media Alliance and over four hundred Hollywood creative leaders have publicly opposed these proposals. They argue that rolling back copyright protections could harm creators and stifle innovation in other sectors. Meanwhile, the Washington Post's CEO, Will Lewis, has reportedly restricted opinion staff from writing about the paper itself, amidst ownership and management controversies.
The AI Action Plan, set to be released in July, will shape the future of AI development and copyright protection in the US. As the debate continues, news organizations are also taking steps to protect their sources and ensure transparency, as seen in 404 Media's use of FOIA and CJR's reporting on protecting immigrant sources.
