Trump Rejects Idea of Paying Copyright Holders for AI Training: ‘It Just Doesn’t Work That Way’
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 24 – Trump says mandatory payments to copyright holders for AI training would harm U.S. competitiveness and calls for a common sense approach to AI regulation and innovation.
- At the start of this week, Senators Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley proposed a bill aiming to prevent artificial intelligence firms from using copyrighted material for training purposes without obtaining authorization.
- This bill responds to ongoing legal battles where AI firms argue training on copyrighted material qualifies as fair use, a position supported by recent federal court rulings.
- Simultaneously, at a Wednesday AI Summit, President Trump rejected the idea that AI companies should pay for every copyrighted article or book used in training models.
- Trump argued that expecting AI developers to pay for all copyrighted materials used in training models is unrealistic and stressed the importance of establishing a unified federal regulation for the industry.
- These developments suggest a divide between legislative pushes to protect rightsholders and executive efforts to promote AI growth by avoiding extensive copyright payments.
