Entertainment Unions Oppose OpenAI's Fair Use Claim in Copyright Case

SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and AFM have jointly filed an amicus brief, urging a federal judge to deny OpenAI a blanket fair use exemption for training its AI models on copyrighted material. Representing over 250,000 entertainment workers, the unions argue that unlicensed AI training harms creative professionals by potentially shifting economic value from creators to technology companies without compensation. This action highlights ongoing concerns about AI's impact on intellectual property and artist livelihoods.
