ROSS Intelligence flags DOJ's fair-use view to Third Circuit

ROSS Intelligence filed a Rule 28(j) letter of new authority with the Third Circuit on Sept. 4, pointing the panel to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Sept. 1 Statement of Interest in the OpenAI MDL copyright litigation, per Chat GPT Is Eating the World. The letter quotes the government’s position that the U.S. “has a strong interest in the question whether training AI models on written works constitutes fair use under copyright law,” arguing that stance applies broadly to AI training, not only to generative AI. ROSS Intelligence is a defendant-appellant in Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence, one of the earliest rulings against an AI company on fair use grounds; the source expects other AI companies facing copyright suits to file similar letters citing the DOJ’s position.
