Immediately after taking office, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-announces-private-sector-ai-infrastructure-investment\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">he announced<\/a><\/span> a joint venture involving OpenAI, Softbank and Oracle that will invest up to $500 billion in private sector money to build artificial intelligence infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p>Perlmutter had held the position since October 2020, during the first Trump Administration. <\/p>\n<p>She was appointed to the post by now former Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-fires-longtime-librarian-of-congress-carla-hayden\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">who herself was fired<\/a><\/span> by Mr. Trump on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Copyright Office, which has a staff of approximately 450 people, is a department of the Library of Congress.
