argument: Notizie/News - Intellectual Property Law

According to an article from SiliconANGLE, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled that a group of artists can proceed with copyright claims against several AI companies, including Stability AI, DeviantArt, and Midjourney. The artists allege that these companies unlawfully used their copyrighted works to train AI models. While the judge dismissed some claims, such as unjust enrichment, he found that the artists presented a reasonable argument regarding the unauthorized use of their works. The case focuses on whether the use of copyrighted works to train AI systems constitutes copyright infringement, a legal issue that remains unresolved.
