Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association, joined by co-amici NetChoice and A.I. Progress, has filed an amicus brief in In re Mosaic LLM Litigation, asking the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to confirm that training generative artificial intelligence models on copyrighted material is a lawful fair use that supports innovation and free expression.
The brief argues that copyright exists to promote progress – not to shield business models from competition. The amici also note that AI training is highly transformative, using copyrighted works to identify patterns and to build new technology tools.
The following can be attributed to CCIA President & CEO Matt Schruers:
“The Constitution makes clear and the Supreme Court has upheld that copyright’s exclusive rights are a means to an end – promoting progress of science and useful arts. We are asking the court to affirm that training AI is fair use and should be allowed.”
