Are Chefs Losing Control? The Hidden Battle Between AI and Copyright Licensing Revealed
Assuming that access to the content is gained legally, I have a hard time imagining a compelling argument against the transformative nature of using that content to train an AI agent, regardless of what we may see as the motivations of the AI companies engaging in these activities — or of those who produced the U.S. government’s statement in support of them.

After reading the Statement of Interest of the United States, one thing came to my mind — how is the “fair use” doctrine of copyright law of the US applied on those copyrighted materials (e.g., newspaper editorials and journal articles) that were also prepared following the fair use principle? Is there any moral dimension to it? Along the same train of thoughts, I was also wondering, if the newspapers’ copyrighted materials are allowed to be used to “teach” and improve LLMs, will that same use be expanded to include copyrighted journal articles on the same grounds? Or are journal articles different from pieces published in newspapers?
