In a surprising legal move, the Justice Department—still carrying the legacy of the Trump administration—has filed a brief supporting OpenAI in a high‑profile copyright case brought by The Intercept and several other news outlets. The lawsuit accuses the AI company of using the publications’ articles without permission, claiming the content was reproduced in training data. By backing OpenAI, the DOJ signals a shift in the federal stance on AI‑generated content, potentially setting a precedent for how copyrighted material can be used in machine‑learning models. The decision has sparked debate over the balance between technological innovation and intellectual property rights.
