Groundbreaking Court Rulings Could Upend the Future of AI Training and Copyright—What You Need to Know Now
Last week saw the release of two court decisions in cases addressing the use of copyrighted material for training of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, Bartz et al., v. Anthropic, and Kadrey et al., v. Meta. We asked the Chefs for their thoughts on these decisions and the potential impacts on publishers and authors.

In the past years, I have been asked some version of the following question by publishers: “as we are developing our AI licensing strategy, should we wait to see if the courts grant us clarity?” My answer has been “fair use is fact dependent. If you wait 5 plus years for the end results of motions for discovery, summary judgement, trials on the merits, and inevitable appeals, we still will not have bright line clarity.”
