Thomson Reuters Prevails In Copyright Battle With AI Company

In what appears to be a first, a federal judge has found that an artificial intelligence company infringed copyright by training its service on material it didn’t own.

The ruling, issued Tuesday by Judge Stephanos Bibas in Delaware federal court, comes in a battle between two companies that sell legal research tools — Thomson Reuters’ Westlaw and the competitor Ross Intelligence.
