The US government, including the Trump administration and the Department of Justice, has expressed strong support for OpenAI in its ongoing copyright litigation with the New York Times.

Officials have emphasized that limiting access to training data could hinder American progress in technology, marking a significant legal confrontation between AI developers and established media organizations.
