President Trump's comments on copyright at the AI Summit, slightly abridged. 'You can't be expected to have a successful Al program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for. ... It's not doable. And if you're going to try and do that, you're not going to have a successful program. When a person reads a book or an article, you've gained great knowledge. That does not mean that you are violating copyright laws, or have to make deals with every content provider. China's not doing it. You have to be able to play by the same set of rules. So when you read something, and when it goes into this vast intelligent machine we'll call it, you cannot expect to every time, every single time, say oh let's pay this one that much. It just doesn't work that way. Of course you can't copy or plagiarize an article. But if you read an article and learn from it, we have to allow AI to use that pool of knowledge without going through the complexity of contract negotiations, of which there would be thousands for every time we use AI.'
