News Corp warns Trump AI is eviscerating sales of The Art of the Deal
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp warns that AI tools are cannibalizing sales of Donald Trump’s books—most notably The Art of the Deal—by feeding on his ideas without paying for the rights. In its latest earnings report, the media giant urged respect for intellectual property and announced “advanced negotiations” with AI firms, balancing partnerships with legal action. The move comes amid growing tensions between News Corp and the Trump White House, following lawsuits over alleged libel in the Wall Street Journal and shifting AI regulations under his administration.
