The Hollywood Reporter
Intellectual Property attorney Daniel Barsky was quoted in an article published by The Hollywood Reporter about a landmark federal court decision involving the use of copyrighted books to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The ruling, centered on Amazon-backed Anthropic, affirmed that AI companies may rely on the fair use doctrine to build foundational models with data from these materials, a decision that could influence similar ongoing cases involving major studios. Mr. Barsky emphasized the ruling's significance for AI creators.
"This Anthropic decision will likely be cited by all creators of AI models to support the argument that fair use applies to the use of massive datasets to train foundational models," he said.
