Getty Drops Key Copyright Claims Against Stability AI, But UK Lawsuit Continues
It underscores the gray areas surrounding the future of content ownership and usage in the age of generative AI
Getty Images dropped its primary claims of copyright infringement against Stability AI on Wednesday at London’s High Court, narrowing one of the most closely watched legal fights over how AI companies use copyrighted content to train their models.
The move doesn’t end the case entirely — Getty is still pursuing other claims as well as a separate lawsuit in the U.S. — but it underscores the gray areas surrounding the future of content ownership and usage in the age of generative AI. The development also comes just a day after a U.S. judge sided with Anthropic in a similar dispute over whether training AI on books without author permission violates copyright law.
