President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for,” Trump said. “We appreciate that, but just can't do it — because it's not doable.”
The president also doubled down on his anti-woke rhetoric in his speech. “We are getting rid of woke,” he said on Wednesday. “The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models.”
The remarks came during a keynote speech at a summit hosted by the “All-In” podcast and the Hill & Valley Forum.
