Every AI Copyright Lawsuit in the US, Visualized
Wired: “WIRED is following every copyright battle involving the AI industry—and we’ve created some handy visualizations that will be updated as the cases progress. In May 2020, the media and technology conglomerate Thomson Reuters sued a small legal AI startup called Ross Intelligence, alleging that it had violated US copyright law by reproducing materials from Westlaw, Thomson Reuters’ legal research platform. As the pandemic raged, the lawsuit hardly registered outside the small world of nerds obsessed with copyright rules. But it’s now clear that the case—filed more than two years before the generative AI boom began—was the first strike in a much larger war between content publishers and artificial intelligence companies now unfolding in courts across the country. The outcome could make, break, or reshape the information ecosystem and the entire AI industry—and in doing so, impact just about everyone across the internet. Over the past two years, dozens of other copyright lawsuits against AI companies have been filed at a rapid clip. The plaintiffs include individual authors like Sarah Silverman and Ta Nehisi-Coates, visual artists, media companies like The New York Times, and music-industry giants like Universal Music Group. This wide variety of rights holders are alleging that AI companies have used their work to train what are often highly lucrative and powerful AI models in a manner that is tantamount to theft. AI companies are frequently defending themselves by relying on what’s known as the “fair use” doctrine, arguing that building AI tools should be considered a situation where it’s legal to use copyrighted materials without getting consent or paying compensation to rights holders. (Widely accepted examples of fair use include parody, news reporting, and academic research.) Nearly every major generative AI company has been pulled into this legal fight, including OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, and Nvidia…”
No doubt they will miss the really interesting stuff.

Oliver Roberts is Editor-in-Chief of AI and the Law at The National Law Review, Co-Head of the AI Practice Group at Holtzman Vogel, and CEO/Founder of Wickard.ai
As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to look ahead to how AI will shape the law and legal practice in 2025. Over the past year, we’ve witnessed growing adoption of AI across the legal sector, substantial investments in legal AI startups, and a rise in state-level AI regulations. While the future of 2025 remains uncertain, industry leaders are already sharing their insights.
Along with 2025 predictions from The National Law Review’s Editor-in-Chief Oliver Roberts, this article presents 65 expert predictions on AI and the law in 2025 from federal judges, startup founders, CEOs, and leaders of AI practice groups at global law firms.
Read the article at The National Law Review. There’s a lot of food for thought in there.
We don’t need no stinking reality! (Real data has enough problems.)
New physics sim trains robots 430,000 times faster than reality
On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 times faster than in the real world. Researchers can also use an AI agent to generate 3D physics simulations from text prompts.
It’s not a joke, it just looks like one.

Quantum Computing Is Coming And Lawyers Aren't Ready
The profession that can’t figure out how to avoid citing fake cases from artificial intelligence will soon deal with a technology far more revolutionary. This month, Google unveiled its new Willow chip, heralding a significant leap in quantum computing.
… Beyond data privacy, quantum computing opens a can of intellectual property worms:
The rapid processing speed of quantum computers could facilitate the infringement of intellectual property rights by allowing the copying and modification of large amounts of data almost instantaneously. Lawyers must be alert to the evolution of intellectual property laws and work on new legal strategies to protect their clients’ rights in this new technological environment.
