Cate Blanchett-Backed Group Files Brief in NYT Lawsuit Against OpenAI
A coalition told a court that licensing systems can handle AI training rights, opposing the view that AI companies don't need permission to use copyrighted works.
The Human Consent Foundation and a coalition of entertainment groups submitted a legal brief in the copyright lawsuit brought by The New York Times against OpenAI. The filing argues that existing licensing systems are capable of clearing creative works for use in AI training.
The brief positions licensing as a practical alternative to treating large-scale training as categorically exempt from copyright obligations. The dispute centers on whether AI developers must secure permission for the material used to train their models.
