As debates over generative artificial intelligence (AI) training and copyright continue, AI Progress today released a new report, AI Models: Addressing Misconceptions About Training and Copyright, which sets the record straight on how AI models learn, what U.S. copyright law protects, and why training AI models on copyrighted works is consistent with decades of legal precedent under the fair use doctrine.

A new report by IP attorneys Anna
Chauvet and Karthik Kumar clarifies how AI models learn, what U.S. copyright law protects, and why training AI models on copyrighted works is consistent with decades of legal precedent under the fair use doctrine.

U.S. copyright law — particularly the fair use doctrine — provides clear protection for innovators and creators who use existing works in transformative ways, meaning the new uses differ from the original works’ purposes and do not substitute for them in the marketplace.

As debates continue around generative AI and copyright, AI Progress’ new report, AI Models: Addressing Misconceptions About Training and Copyright, separates fact from fiction about how these AI models are trained and what the law
protects.

As debates over artificial intelligence intensify, critics are questioning whether training large language models (LLMs) on publicly available data violates U.S. copyright law. But legal precedent — and a closer look at how these models actually work — tells a different story.

AI Progress issued the following statement after the release of the Trump Administration’s AI Action Plan to ensure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.

The AI Progress coalition issued a statement after the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued a significant ruling which held that using copyrighted works to train large language models is fair use under U.S. copyright law.

Artificial intelligence is poised to become a major driver of U.S. economic growth — accelerating research and development, unlocking new industries and job opportunities, and boosting productivity across sectors.

How critical is U.S. copyright law to maintaining global leadership in AI innovation? Experts tackled that high-stakes question in a recent panel discussion hosted by AI Progress on Capitol Hill.
