A federal judge appears poised to dismiss most claims in a high-profile lawsuit brought by artists against AI companies. The case has thrust thorny questions about copyright into the limelight as generative AI enters the mainstream.

At a hearing earlier this week, U.S. District Judge William Orrick said the artist plaintiffs should better differentiate their allegations against AI art companies Stability AI, MidJourney and DeviantArt. The news was first reported by Reuters.

The proposed class action lawsuit alleges Stability “scraped” billions of images from the web to train its text-to-image AI system Stable Diffusion, potentially infringing copyrights. The lawsuit alleges that the images generated by Stable Diffusion are derivative works of the copyrighted images, which constitutes infringement of the exclusive rights of the owners of those images.

Yet Orrick noted it remains “implausible” that specific plaintiff works are implicated, given the scale of training data involved.
