Marshall Gerstein Partner Matthew Carey provided an overview of a recent and significant federal court decision that offers a rare moment of clarity in the murky intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property. The case, Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence, provides guidance about the use of AI training and copyright law, and the February ruling in the District of Delaware is important to companies building or deploying AI systems that rely on third-party content.
Matt writes, "The case centers on one of the most pressing legal questions in the AI era: can proprietary materials be used as training data without permission? This decision seems to make clear that the answer, in many instances, will be 'no.'"
