GETTY'S LANDMARK AI SCRAPING TRIAL BEGINS IN UK

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Getty Images is pursuing a landmark copyright lawsuit against Stability AI in London's High Court, alleging the AI company used millions of Getty's copyrighted photos without permission to train its models. Stability AI contends that the training occurred outside the UK and argues that only a tiny portion of its AI-generated outputs resemble Getty images, framing the dispute as about technological innovation and fair use. Getty maintains this isn't anti-AI but about requiring proper licensing and payment for copyrighted works, noting it has licensed content to other tech companies for AI training purposes.
