AI Progress Launches Education Campaign Focused on Copyright Issues

Washington, D.C. — AI Progress this week launched a new education campaign highlighting how fair use — a longstanding, foundational principle of U.S. copyright law — drives American innovation and competitiveness.

For nearly two centuries, fair use has fueled America’s competitive edge by allowing innovators to build on existing knowledge to create something new. This legal doctrine has enabled the development of generations of new technologies and is a major reason why the U.S. is a global technological leader.

Fair use enables AI systems to learn from vast and diverse information, accelerating scientific and medical breakthroughs, driving economic growth, strengthening U.S. tech leadership, and unlocking discoveries that can improve lives.

AI Progress’ effort raises awareness of this crucial connection and underscores the importance of fair use in ensuring that AI continues to deliver broad societal benefits.

The campaign will run across social media, digital media, newsletters, and in selected out-of-home placements in the Washington, D.C. area throughout 2026. More information is available at ProgressforAI.com.
