The Hamburg District Court dismissed Robert Kneschke's copyright infringement claims, ruling LAION's use of his photograph for AI training fell under the statutory limitation for scientific research.
The court determined that while Kneschke's photo was uploaded with restrictions, Section 60d of the German Copyright Act permits text and data mining for scientific use.
The court's ruling notably affirmed that the exemption for text and data mining under section 44b UrhG could apply to AI training data, a point of contention in legal discussions.
By referencing the EU AI Act, the court showcased that current legislators recognize the implications of AI on copyright, opposing claims regarding oversight during the formation of earlier directives.
