Thomson Reuters Wins First Major AI Copyright Case in the US

In the complaint, Thomson Reuters claimed the AI firm reproduced materials from its legal research firm Westlaw. "None of Ross's possible defenses holds water. I reject them all," wrote US District Court of Delaware judge Stephanos Bibas, in a summary judgement. Thomson Reuters and Ross Intelligence did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Right now, there are several dozen lawsuits currently winding through the US court system, as well as international challenges in China, Canada, the UK, and other countries. Notably, Judge Bibas ruled in Thomson Reuters' favor on the question of fair use.
