IT Home reported on August 14 that the presiding judge of a local U.S. court ruled yesterday (August 13) that the AI ​​image training class action lawsuit can proceed, but rejected some of the claims.

IT Home learned from the report that the plaintiffs are composed of several artists, and the defendants are Stability AI, Midjourney and other AI-related companies.The plaintiff accused it of illegally using copyrighted works to train AI。

The plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit stated that the data sets currently used by many mainstream AI image processing services contain copyrighted works they created.

Judge William Orrick granted additional induced copyright infringement claims against Stability and accepted copyright claims against DeviantArt (which used a model based on Stable Diffusion) and Runway AI (the startup behind Stable Diffusion), as well as copyright and trademark infringement claims against Midjourney.

However, the judge dismissed allegations that the AI ​​generator violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by removing or changing copyright management information, and also dismissed allegations that DeviantArt violated its terms of service by allowing users' works to be used in artificial intelligence training data sets.

In a class-action lawsuit against Midjourney, 4,700 artists are accused of misleading the company and sharing content without their knowledge or consent.
