Hollywood Calls on Trump to Defend Copyrights Amid AI Industry Push for Looser Regulations

In a fierce debate over the intersection of artificial intelligence and copyright laws, Hollywood has rallied against significant proposals from major AI companies like OpenAI and Google that seek to relax regulations surrounding the use of copyrighted materials for AI training. Over 400 celebrities, including acclaimed filmmakers and musicians, have signed an open letter urging the Trump administration to preserve existing copyright protections, expressing concerns that allowing AI firms to exploit copyrighted works could undermine the entertainment industry. The strong backlash from Hollywood comes as OpenAI argues for a more permissive regulatory environment, warning that without access to copyrighted content, the U.S. risks falling behind China in the global AI race. As emotional appeals flood in from major stars, the debate intensifies over how best to balance innovation in AI with the protection of intellectual property rights.
