The development of AI is crucial to the United States – it all depends on these two freedoms

The Trump administration recently asked U.S. developers, including OpenAI, what the U.S. needed to stay ahead of the global AI competition. We believe that maintaining AI learning ability should be at the top.

In the early days of the Internet, landmark legal rulings confirmed that U.S. copyright law protected the right to browse the network, link to other websites and host content, laying the foundation for U.S. leadership’s search, social media and cloud. Courts rely on the doctrine of justice, allowing innovators to freely learn from copyrighted materials and improve the technological advantages of the United States.

Today, artificial intelligence is expected to expand human creativity itself – the sum of our free learning, understanding, thinking, creating and producing. Humans have never created a technology that can be done to advance education, science and discovery, and we have seen its benefits.

California State University is creating an AI-powered course and taking Chatgpt into the hands of 500,000 students and educators to build an AI-Ready workforce. National Laboratories are using cutting-edge AI to unlock breakthroughs, with 1,500 scientists exploring how Openai’s tools accelerate discovery.

And, we are still at the beginning – like a child who is awarded a junior chemistry lab kit and has been learning, experimenting and creating a lifetime.

The history of human progress has always been one of us that shapes the tools that shape us, including our freedom. Freedom of speech has been repeatedly reimagined from town squares and print publishers to newspapers, mass media and the internet.

Awareness of the potential of AI means maintaining two core freedoms: freedom of intelligence, which gives people the right to benefit from AI without excessive restrictions on the law; and freedom of learning, which ensures the ability to access public facts and information on any topic. Together, they form the basis of the democratic AI future – the United States can only be shaped if the United States ensures that American AI developers retain the ability to access data used to train models such as Chatgpt.

This week, Chinese startup DeepSeek released a major upgrade to its existing AI model, and the bets this week and the urgency bets are even clearer. The rapid improvement of DeepSeek is no accident: unlike its American counterparts, Chinese AI developers have no restrictions on the data of training systems, which gives them an increasing competitive advantage.

As the Trump administration seeks public opinion for the upcoming AI action plan, there is only one clear path to preserve intellectual freedom and freedom of learning, a “AI deal” rooted in fair use, realism and common growth.

Reasonable use

To maintain AI leadership in the United States and maximize its benefits to education, science, and healthcare, policy makers must ensure that copyright laws comply with their constitutional mandate to encourage creativity and innovation.

This means retaining access to basic science and public content for training AI tools. These include other tools from Chatgpt and OpenAI, creating jobs and economic opportunities by more than 400 million people and 3 million developers – as well as firm products and infrastructure from Microsoft, Apple, Apple, Amazon, Google, Nvidia and Oracle. It also includes thousands of “small tech” startups that will drive tomorrow’s growth.

Some of this content may be copyrighted, and the court held that it is fair to use this material when the application is transformative, meaning it uses existing works to create new things and different things without eroding the commercial value of such works. This is especially true for basic concepts of basic science and mathematics that belong to all human beings.

The AI ​​model is profoundly transformative. They use huge computing power to learn deep mathematical patterns, analyze and insights from trillions of data points, so that they can create new content in internal monologues like humans, and even “think”. They are designed to create profound new insights and understandings and have safeguards to avoid replicating the material they learn from.

U.S. developers must be able to rely on reasonable uses to continue these breakthroughs while advancing such safeguards and preventing abuse of voice and similarity.

Realism

Laws are bound by the state, while technology remains borderless. The Internet is global, with content everywhere, but not everyone plays according to the same rules. The rise of DeepSeek illustrates this broader truth.

Headquartered in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the company has a history of violating U.S. intellectual property rights and is a national goal to lead the world in AI by 2030. DeepSeek and other AI developers in Prc have unlimited access to a large amount of content including copyrighted materials. The output of DeepSeek has copied the song lyrics and some books.

The key training data that limits U.S. developers will compete against unfavorable OpenAI and its peers without protecting right-right equity. This will also have a negative impact on the broader U.S. AI ecosystem, from Fortune 500 companies relying on U.S. AI models to startups that use technology to create business and jobs.

On the other hand, the EU has written rules to restrict access to training data and the UK is considering similar actions. This will slow innovation, create uncertainty for its AI developers, and block talent and capital.

Ensuring our collective technological advantages requires a harmonious AI ecosystem in multiple democratic countries. Without it, democratic AI could be under threat as global competition for artificial intelligence intensifies. The United States must lead and use its leadership wisely.

Common growth

When Americans flourish, America flourishes. Often there isn’t enough of the latter, which is the former, and everyone gets worse. The Trump administration can develop a country’s AI strategy that can make balance reachable by doing at least three things.

First, the transformation of copyrighted content uses trained AI to promote the constitutional goal “promoting the advancement of science and useful art”, which has been fairly used but has been challenged in courts. The government should defend it strongly.

Second, the government should provide more government data and government-funded data to AI developers to facilitate innovation.

Third, the government should track whether the overall data levels available to innovators in the United States have decreased due to domestic and foreign policies and focus on maintaining our global competitiveness.

Getting the balance correctly will release investments on a scale that has never been seen before, such as Openai’s new Stargate project, which will invest $500 billion nationwide and $500 billion nationwide to create jobs and drive spending and economic growth in local communities. U.S. businesses of all sizes will need certainty to integrate AI solutions (such as custom AI agents) to increase worker productivity, accelerate innovation and compete globally.

The choice is clear: to promote innovation through policies that protect equitable uses and create jobs and breakthroughs for education, science and health care, or to allow others to control the future of this revolutionary technology without being played by the same rules.
