EFF Warns Narrowing Fair Use for Generative AI Training Would Harm the Public

The EFF filed an amicus brief in In re OpenAI◼ opposing plaintiffs' arguments that training generative AI on copyrighted works is not fair use, including that unauthorised scraping or use of infringing sources makes subsequent use unfair. The EFF argues this would undermine fair use for crawling by researchers and journalists, and would call into question intermediate copying in routine internet activity. It also opposes mandatory licensing as favouring the largest firms. No CVEs or technical vulnerabilities are involved; the issue is legal and policy.
