⚖️ AI & IP: Trump Administration Rejects OpenAI's Dubious Call to Weaken Copyright Laws
From Abhivardhan, our President
The Trump admin's AI governance memos (M-25-21 & M-25-22) take a strong stance on IP protection in AI development, a direct contrast to some tech giants' push for weaker copyright laws (e.g., OpenAI). 🤔
Here is my detailed brief on these 2 memorandums: https://www.indicpacific.com/post/the-position-of-second-trump-admin-on-ai-and-intellectual-property-laws-the-april-2025-memorandums
I must admit, I am impressed by this administration.
Key takeaways
🚫 Rejects calls for unrestricted use of copyrighted material for AI training.
🤝 Emphasizes clear data ownership & IP rights in govt contracts.
🛑 Prevents unauthorized use of govt data to train commercial AI.
This approach balances innovation with IP protection, crucial for global AI competition (esp. vs. China 🇨🇳). What are your thoughts on this IP tug-of-war in the age of AI?
