On October 30, 2026, the Wikimedia Foundation issued a statement regarding the AI copyright case of The New York Times v. OpenAI and Microsoft. Its general counsel, Stephen LaPorte, said that if the court does not apply the fair use doctrine prudently, it could threaten the sustainability of free knowledge and inhibit the development of open-source technology. Wikimedia argues that using copyrighted works without permission for pre-training large language models may qualify as fair use if the model's output differs from the original text; however, when chatbots directly output article content and replace readers' access to the original works, AI companies should comply with licensing requirements. Wikimedia also pointed out that models reproduce Wikipedia text published under open licenses but do not necessarily comply with conditions such as attribution and share-alike, and it is concerned that if the court broadly rules that AI training is entirely unrestricted, it could greenlight disregard for licenses. CEO Bernadette Meehan said that expanding access to knowledge through AI is an important goal, but the contributors and communities that make reliable knowledge possible must be respected.
