Trump says he “get rid of Woke” and rejects the concerns of copyright in the discourse of AI policy
President Trump announced The fact that the position of the United States on intellectual property and AI would be a “common sense application” which does not force AI companies to pay for each element of material protected by copyright used in the training of border models. “We cannot expect it to be a successful AI program when each article, book or everything you have read or studied, you are supposed to pay,” said Trump. “We appreciate this, but I cannot do it – because it is not feasible.”
The president has also doubled his anti-reverse rhetoric in his speech. “We get rid of Woke,” he said on Wednesday. “The American people do not want Marxist madness awakened in AI models.”
The remarks came during an opening speech during a summit organized by the All-in Podcast and The Hill & Valley Forum. The AI of the White House and Tsar Crypto David Sacks, one of the cohosts of the podcast, helped shape the approach of the Trump administration to the policy of artificial intelligence.
Since the beginning of the BOOM of the AI in 2022, technological companies have been locked in a series of main legal battles with publishers, record companies, media companies, individual artists and other rights holders on the legality of the training of their AI tools on material protected by copyright without authorization or compensation. Earlier this week, American senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal presented a bill that seeks to prohibit AI companies from training on works protected by copyright without authorization; Trump’s remarks suggest that the White House does not support this approach.
Those who want IA companies to be able to train on copyright -protected works without granting the material celebrates Trump’s remarks. “He is absolutely right,” said Adam Eisgrau, principal director of the Chamber of Progress. “Common sense stipulates that requiring it from developers of Gen-Ai dismissed the works protected by the copyrights on which they are formed is not both doable and have little meaning, because these works are not plagiarized. They are used, as someone would do, to learn and produce incredible technology that two federal courts have already said “spectacularly transformative”. ” ».
In a large-scale AI action plan published this morning, the Trump administration described more than 90 political recommendations intended to ensure that the United States wins what bags call the “AI race” against China.
The 28-page report stresses that “AI is far too important to suffocate in the bureaucracy at this early stage” and recommends policies intended to loosen the regulations and to retreat the raguards of the Biden era, including an examination of the inquiries of the Federal Trade Commission “to ensure that they do not advance the theories of responsibility which unduly turn in charge of the innovation of AA.” He also recommends that federal funding be retained to states that adopt too “heavy” AI legislation. The reduction in state efforts to regulate AI was one of the Sacks pet projects. This recommendation comes after an attempted adoption of a federal law requiring a “moratorium” of a decade on state legislation at the end of last month.
In addition to publishing recommendations to loosen the regulations, the AI action plan is also coupled with the Trump administration’s disdain to “wake up” the AI. He recommends that federal supply lines on supply are updated so that only AI companies which “guarantee that their systems are objective and exempt from ideological biases from top to bottom” obtain government contracts.
In particular, the AI action plan does not mention intellectual property. Trump’s remarks tonight offer an unprecedented overview of the favorite approach to the White House to regulate AI and copyright.
