What’s next for artists suing Stability AI and Midjourney
One of the artists involved in the class action lawsuit against Stability AI and Midjourney hopes the lawsuit will usher in a new kind of AI model.
The lawsuit, brought by artists Sarah Andersen, Kelly McKernan, Karla Ortiz, Hawke Southworth, Grzegorz Rutkowski, Gregory Manchess, Gerald Brom, Jingna Zhang, Julia Kaye and Adam Ellis, is one of the first legal challenges to AI platforms to reach this stage and could set the tone for other cases filed against AI companies. We might find out that the [training] process does include storing and making copies of our art for the dataset, which the judge has said we offered a plausible explanation for that to be true. The other thing that’s pretty exciting is that Midjourney is facing Lanham Act claims that can address, for the first time, artistic style receiving some kind of protection.
