Wikimedia Urges Fair Use Protection for AI Training and Licensing for Substitute Outputs

The Wikimedia Foundation filed an amicus brief in publishers’ copyright lawsuits against OpenAI and Microsoft, urging courts to protect transformative large language model training under fair use while requiring licenses for outputs that substitute for original works. The nonprofit behind Wikipedia took neither side in the cases, which involve publishers including The New York Times. Wikimedia argued that overly broad rulings could jeopardize useful AI tools or undermine the communities that sustain open knowledge. For Wikipedia content, it said companies should comply with Creative Commons requirements, including attribution and keeping adaptations under the same license.
