During yesterday’s “Winning the AI Race” summit, President Trump weighed in on the debate surrounding AI and copyright, noting that it is “not doable” for AI companies to pay for all copyrighted content used in model training. This stance, shared amidst ongoing AI copyright lawsuits, aims to keep the U.S. competitive in the global AI landscape, especially against countries like China.

Copyright was specifically built to protect printers, who demanded a monopoly over publication.
Not the writers or creators of those works, who made nothing from copyright, but the publishing company. It was built to protect a means of distribution.
