OpenAI and Google are calling on the U.S. government to grant an exemption that would allow AI companies to train their models on copyrighted material. This request is part of their response to President Trump’s AI Action Plan, which aims to enhance America’s position as a leader in AI innovation. OpenAI emphasizes the importance of a balanced intellectual property system that protects the interests of content creators while supporting AI advancements and national security. Google echoes this sentiment, highlighting the role of fair use and text-and-data mining exceptions in enabling AI systems to learn from prior knowledge and publicly available data. Both companies argue that these exceptions are crucial for scientific and social progress without significantly affecting rightsholders. OpenAI also suggests maintaining tight export controls on AI chips to China and promoting the adoption of AI tools within the U.S. government.
