Trump Reportedly Fires Head of US Copyright Office

"The recent firings of key cultural figures, Shira Perlmutter and Carla Hayden, have raised eyebrows amid growing scrutiny into how AI systems access copyrighted material. As the US Copyright Office released a report highlighting concerns over AI's use of copyrighted works in training models, Trump administration appointees like Perlmutter, who oversaw AI-related developments during her tenure, were targeted by critics. Meanwhile, Carla Hayden, a library head previously appointed by Obama and untouched during Trump’s first presidency, also fell victim to similar accusations."
