OpenAI is urging the U.S. government to ease copyright restrictions for AI companies to allow them to learn from copyrighted material. This proposal is part of a broader plan submitted to the government as part of President Trump’s “AI Action Plan.” OpenAI believes that this change will help strengthen America’s global lead in advancing AI technology. The company is concerned about copyright issues that have plagued AI developers who train their models on human work without informing or compensating original creators. OpenAI’s proposal focuses on creating “freedom-focused” policies and encouraging fair use practices while protecting content creators’ rights and national security interests.
The company highlights the need for more investment in developing AI infrastructure in the U.S. to compete with countries like China. OpenAI also suggests exporting American “democratic AI” technology to promote U.S. technology adoption globally, starting with government use. The proposal emphasizes the potential risks posed by competitors such as DeepSeek R1, a Chinese AI model that briefly surpassed OpenAI’s ChatGPT, indicating a narrowing lead in AI advancements. Overall, OpenAI’s proposal aims to promote innovation, job creation, economic growth, and national security through AI development and deployment, while also addressing copyright challenges in the industry.
