   Amicus briefs back OpenAI on fair use in New York Times lawsuit

   OpenAI says experts and organizations filed amicus briefs supporting fair use for generative AI training in its copyright dispute with The New York Times. AI Progress and other filers argue that training is transformative, does not provide substitute access to source works, and does not cause cognizable market harm, while OpenAI characterizes the lawsuit as an attempt to narrow longstanding fair-use principles. These are advocacy positions, not independent findings or a court ruling.

   Anthropic outlines election safeguards ahead of the 2026 US midterms

   Anthropic published a blog post on October 14 detailing strengthened election safeguards ahead of the 2026 US midterms. The company said it used Anthropic Insights to analyze 250,000 US Claude.ai conversations from September 21 to 27, 2026: about 5.75% touched on politics, public policy or social issues, about 0.51% were specifically about elections or voting, about 0.01% asked whom or what to vote for, and about 0.002% violated its election integrity policies. Anthropic said Claude will later this month start drawing official voting information from Democracy Works into responses for US users, while continuing to show a TurboVote banner; external evaluations found Claude sometimes added unsolicited caveats and that Claude Sonnet 4.5 was more likely to soften arguments for right-leaning positions, which Anthropic says it is addressing. Anthropic also said it banned accounts tied to foreign-based operators of a fake news site that used Claude to produce US midterm coverage favoring Russian, Iranian and North Korean narratives.
