The Trump administration has filed a brief supporting OpenAI in its dispute with The New York Times, according to Reuters reporting summarized by Techmeme. The administration’s position, as reported, is that training large language models on copyrighted works generally constitutes fair use. That puts the government’s stated legal view, according to Reuters, on the side of OpenAI in the dispute. The provided material does not include the full brief, the court, or the administration’s detailed legal reasoning. It also does not specify whether the filing addresses only OpenAI’s dispute with The New York Times or broader claims around AI training practices beyond the general fair-use position reported by Reuters. For now, the material fact is narrow: the administration has formally weighed in, and it did so in support of OpenAI’s fair-use argument for model training on copyrighted works. Who benefits: OpenAI benefits directly from a brief that Reuters describes as supporting it in its dispute with The New York Times. Who's exposed: The New York Times is the named counterparty in the dispute described by Reuters.
