Fair use remains a critical element in the lawsuits against tech giants, with courts assessing whether training AI on copyrighted material transgresses copyright laws or qualifies as permissible usage.
The argument hinges on whether AI's transformative nature means its output constitutes fair use or if it simply reproduces existing works, threatening the livelihood of the original creators.
As the legal landscape evolves, companies like OpenAI and Meta argue that they rely on fair use to innovate, while copyright holders emphasize the economic risks they face.
Ongoing lawsuits could lead to licensing fees for AI companies, stalling innovation, or a pathway where AI developers are free to utilize copyrighted material without compensation.
