US DOJ backs OpenAI fair use; Meta releases Muse Spark 1.3; NYC schools ban AI

The U.S. Department of Justice has backed OpenAI's fair-use defense in a copyright lawsuit, arguing that training AI on public internet data is permissible. This intervention could significantly impact the legal landscape for AI development. Meanwhile, Meta has released Muse Spark 1.3, an AI model optimized for coding tasks with a 1 million token context window, and teased a new frontier model. In contrast, New York City schools have banned generative AI for students in grades pre-K through 8, citing concerns about foundational cognitive development. AI

IMPACT US DOJ's support for OpenAI's fair use could accelerate AI training data acquisition, while Meta's new model release aims to boost agentic coding capabilities.
