Disney, Universal sue Midjourney — ‘bottomless pit of plagiarism’
Disney said it filed the complaint after its request to Midjourney to adopt anti-copyright infringement measures was ignored.
Disney and Universal have sued artificial intelligence firm Midjourney for copyright infringement over its AI-powered image generator.
In a legal complaint filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the entertainment giants accused Midjourney of using works related to copyrighted characters to train its large language model (LLM) and distributing images of the copyrighted characters.
There are already several court cases against AI firms filed by authors and artists for alleged copyright infringement; however, this is the first time that major movie studios have waded into the AI legal saga.
