A Fortune commentary argues that strong intellectual-property protections matter as AI companies contest whether training on copyrighted work requires a licence. The piece says the US Department of Justice has filed a brief supporting OpenAI’s expansive fair-use position.
Why it mattersThe author’s case is that copyright can help creators and smaller businesses compete with larger firms. That is an argument, not a settled verdict on how copyright law applies to AI training. The distinction matters: a legal debate about the rules is not the same as a court deciding where they land.
Discuss: Should AI developers need permission to train on copyrighted work, or should fair use cover that activity?
