On September 4, Meaghan Kent was interviewed by SupplyChainBrain on recent court rulings pertaining to whether artificial intelligence training models may draw on copyrighted content. In the interview, Kent discussed several recent federal court rulings, including the cases of Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence and Claude.ai v. Anthropic.
“There are dozens of ongoing litigations right now involving the question of whether the use of copyrighted content for training AI is a fair use or not,” Kent explained, after being asked what recent federal court rulings say about the application of fair use principles to the training of AI models.
“We’re seeing a lot of the developers licensing. Open AI, for example, has been licensing from various news and media companies,” she added. “We’re really seeing this grow and that becoming the sort of solution in the meantime, while everything’s up in the air, is that this protects both sides.”
According to SupplyChainBrain, “the issue of AI and fair use is far from settled.”
“Intellectual property owners and AI developers need to keep abreast of fast-changing developments,” Kent noted. “A likely outcome in the short term… is copyright owners agreeing to license their content to multiple AI providers, a trend that is already well underway.”
