⚖️ Policy & Power

Trump Ousts Copyright Chief After AI Report Warns Against Unchecked Data Mining

The firing comes amid heated debate over AI’s use of copyrighted works

President Trump has fired Shira Perlmutter, Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, just one day after her office published a report casting doubt on the legality of mass AI training on copyrighted content. Critics call it a politically charged move that threatens independent copyright governance.

🚨 Politicizing IP Policy?

Lawmakers like Rep. Joe Morelle blasted the firing as "unprecedented," alleging retaliation for Perlmutter’s refusal to approve broad fair use exemptions that would benefit AI firms—especially Elon Musk’s xAI. Musk has vocally opposed IP protections, echoing calls to "delete all IP law."

📜 The AI Report That Sparked the Fallout

The Copyright Office’s new report differentiates between acceptable AI research and “commercial exploitation of copyrighted works” without permission. It proposes licensing markets and collective solutions rather than unlimited fair use—exactly the approach many AI developers oppose.

🤖 Big Stakes for the AI Industry

With OpenAI, Google, and others facing lawsuits over training data, the stakes are enormous. Licensing vs. fair use could determine the future economics of AI development. Musk’s xAI, which just merged with X, could benefit if the new Copyright Office leadership weakens licensing enforcement.

⚖️ Institutions Under Pressure

This follows Trump’s earlier dismissal of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. Together, the firings raise red flags about executive interference in copyright enforcement just as Congress and courts grapple with how to regulate AI training data.

📈 What’s Next?

A new Register of Copyrights has yet to be named. The direction of U.S. copyright enforcement—particularly around AI-generated content and training data rights—could pivot dramatically based on who fills the role. Meanwhile, AI companies are watching closely for signals that licensing may be weakened or dismissed altogether.

⚡ The companies of the future

Meta taps former Google DeepMind director to lead its AI research lab

Meta AI Leadership Update

Meta has appointed Robert Fergus to lead its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) lab, according to Bloomberg.

Fergus joins from Google DeepMind, where he worked as a research director for approximately five years, and had previously been a research scientist at Meta.

The appointment comes as FAIR, established in 2013, has reportedly faced challenges with researchers departing for other companies, startups, and even Meta's newer GenAI group. While FAIR led research on Meta's early AI models like Llama 1 and Llama 2, the newer GenAI group was responsible for developing Llama 4.

This leadership change follows the April departure of Meta's previous VP of AI Research, Joelle Pineau, who left for a new opportunity.

Why it matters: With fresh leadership, Meta is signaling it wants to revitalize its foundational research efforts amid fierce AI talent wars and shifting innovation priorities.

⚡ Trends for the Future

Google Adds Gemini Nano AI to Chrome to Fight Against Online Scams

Google Gemini Nano in Chrome

The details:

Google is boosting Chrome's security with Gemini Nano, an on-device large language model built to better detect and prevent scams. The upgrade enhances Chrome’s Enhanced Protection mode by offering instant AI-based analysis of websites.

This new system strengthens protection against phishing and scam sites, with an initial focus on blocking remote tech support scams. More scam types and Android support are planned for future updates.

For Android, AI will now flag scammy push notifications. If a notification seems suspicious, Chrome will alert users and offer an option to unsubscribe. Users can override the flag if they trust the site.

Google says its AI blocks hundreds of millions of scam results in Search daily. One standout success: an 80% drop in fake airline customer service scams, making it harder for fraudsters to spread false support numbers.

What makes this crucial: As scams grow more sophisticated, Gemini Nano's on-device AI provides Chrome users with proactive, real-time defenses—ensuring safer browsing without needing server-side delays or updates.
