What Happened
AI image generator Midjourney has formally requested that the Hollywood studios which have filed copyright infringement lawsuits against it reveal their own utilization of artificial intelligence technologies. This demand is part of the ongoing legal battle initiated by the studios.
The studios' lawsuits generally allege that Midjourney has been trained on copyrighted material without proper authorization, leading to the creation of infringing works. Midjourney's counter-request aims to scrutinize the studios' practices in relation to AI.
By demanding transparency from the studios regarding their AI usage, Midjourney appears to be seeking to establish a precedent or gather evidence that could support its defense. The specifics of how the studios themselves employ AI in their creative processes or content generation are now a focal point of the dispute.
