The recent legal decision involving Thomson Reuters and ROSS Intelligence represents a notable development in the realm of artificial intelligence and copyright law. As reported by Brandon Butler at Jaszi Butler PLLC, this opinion may not substantially influence future AI litigation due to its specific legal oversights. The court found ROSS Intelligence’s AI training to infringe on copyrights held by Thomson Reuters, the publisher of Westlaw, but the ruling is criticized for not addressing important precedents on intermediate copying and for misinterpreting key legal concepts around commercial substitution and superseding use.
