For small businesses, embracing #ArtificialIntelligence and other emerging technologies leads to growth. A recent report from @USChamber found that 82% of small businesses using #AI increased their workforce over the past year. Learn more:

Existing #CopyrightLaw fuels technological innovation that benefits small businesses. In a recent report from the @USChamber, 77% of small businesses that use #AI reported that limits on the technology would negatively impact them. Learn more⬇️

Today, AI Progress joined @TechNetUpdate and others in filing an amicus brief in Bartz v. Anthropic. We’ll continue advocating for policies — and legal outcomes — that promote innovation and keep the U.S. competitive in AI. Read the brief here:

President Trump recently called for “common sense artificial and intellectual property rules” and made an important point. Learning from existing knowledge is not infringement. It's true humans. It’s true for AI.

AI is reshaping the U.S. economy. Research suggests that AI will lift America’s GDP and boost labor productivity. Today’s copyright laws foster AI innovation, protecting ideas while helping researchers and developers build upon existing knowledge. Read more:

Today, the @WhiteHouse issued its AI Action Plan aimed at securing U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence. AI Progress issued the following statement in response.

#FairUse doesn’t just support innovation — it drives economic growth. #GenAI could add up to $7.9 trillion annually to the global economy. See @DataCatalystOrg's new report showing how existing U.S. copyright law fuels economic growth.⬇️

Access to diverse training data is essential to developing effective AI models and ensuring American AI dominance. As Doug Eck, senior research director at Google DeepMind, recently explained at an AI Progress event, fair use is key to enabling that innovation. Learn more:

China is pouring $1.4 trillion into AI and using all available data to surge ahead. To keep innovation alive and maintain leadership, the U.S. must protect fair use — or risk losing the AI race. Read more in @InsideSourcesDC ⬇️

In a @TheNatlInterest piece, former ambassador @robertcobrien said America must reject misguided calls to limit lawful data use & stand firm behind its proven copyright framework. We agree. Our competitive edge & global leadership depend on it. Read more ⬇️.

Why do the world’s top AI startups overwhelmingly call the U.S. home? U.S. copyright law is designed to keep up with innovation, attracting AI talent and investment. A new report explores how changes could drive them away. Explore the data:

AI has the power to solve societal challenges — but only if it’s trained on the data it needs to succeed. Fortunately, the fair use doctrine provides the flexibility to do just that. Let’s not rewrite rules that work. Learn more:

A new analysis from @DataCatalystOrg shows how fair use is driving U.S. leadership in generative AI — and why weakening it could cost the U.S. its competitive edge. Explore the research. ⬇️.

The U.S. has long set the global standard on emerging tech. Restricting AI training data could create self-imposed roadblocks — letting other nations write the rules and reap the rewards. Read more:
