US government backs OpenAI on use of copyrighted data for AI training

A policy brief released by the White House on Thursday reiterated the United States’ commitment to shaping the global artificial‑intelligence landscape, stating that “the United States has a strong interest in continuing to develop a robust and competitive artificial intelligence industry that sets the standard for the practice and procedure of AI use globally.” The document, part of the administration’s broader AI strategy, outlines a coordinated effort to sustain leadership in AI research, development, and deployment.

The brief calls for increased federal investment in AI research and development, expanded public‑private partnerships, and the establishment of clear standards for safety, transparency, and ethical use. It emphasizes workforce development through education and training programs, as well as the need to protect intellectual property while encouraging innovation. The strategy also references growing international competition, particularly from China, and underscores the importance of aligning domestic policy with allied nations to promote interoperable standards and secure supply chains.

Officials indicated that the outlined measures will guide forthcoming legislative proposals and agency actions aimed at reinforcing the nation’s AI ecosystem. By prioritizing investment, standards, and collaboration, the United States seeks to maintain its position as the benchmark for responsible AI practice worldwide.
