Partner Dominic Bray and Associate Sevine Dandan were invited to contribute to the recently published book, “The AI Revolution: the International Legal Perspective”, for IAEL (International Association of Entertainment Lawyers). You can read the article below.
AI 'training data' cases are coming thick and fast, with potentially major consequences for rights holders and tech providers. Most of the cases are (for now) in the US, but the attached piece briefly examines the position in the UK/EU. This was a small contribution to a recent book 'The AI Revolution: the International Legal Perspective' published by the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers (IAEL) edited by Anne-Marie Pecoraro (UGGC) and Alexander Ross (Wiggin). Since writing (a little while ago), there has been a decision in the mentioned German case of Kenschke, dismissing the plaintiff's case and ruling that the preparation of datasets which are then used to train AI-models may, subject to meeting certain requirements, benefit from the text and data mining exception to copyright infringement under German law. The trial of the English case of Getty v Stability AI is expected in June 2025. Watch this space.
