Principal Adam Kessel Comments on AI, Copyright, and Fair Use in Landmark Case
Principal Adam Kessel spoke with Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly about the first federal court decision to apply copyright and fair use principles to artificial intelligence. Kessel discussed how the Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence case reflects growing concerns for AI developers and content owners alike, and what the decision could mean for the future of AI and copyright law.
Excerpt: “This is a decision that's fairly protective of copyright owners of existing content, and doesn't necessarily spell doom for large language models and generative AI but certainly is not in their favor and perhaps tips the scales a little more in the legacy content owners' favor in terms of their bargaining position to try to get compensated for use of their work in training models.”
