He said companies should be allowed to train models on creators’ work while protecting artists, as major tech firms face lawsuits over copyright use.

  • On Wednesday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urged G20 officials in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to embrace "fair use" principles while protecting creators, arguing frameworks must balance intellectual property with innovation.
  • G20 nations aim to avoid new AI regulations unless addressing "novel considerations" not covered by existing laws, according to a joint statement released Wednesday, with China among the signatories.
  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged officials to avoid regulations focusing on "theoretical harms," while Google and Meta face mounting lawsuits from creators alleging misuse of their work for AI training.
  • The Justice Department separately filed a brief Wednesday supporting OpenAI in its copyright dispute with the New York Times, arguing AI training generally constitutes fair use of copyrighted material.
  • Government requirements could hurt industry profits if they slow model releases or force companies to change product performance to address security concerns, risking innovation momentum.
