Appeals court hears first fair-use argument in AI training case

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on June 11 in Thomson Reuters v. Ross Intelligence, marking the first appellate-level review of fair use in AI training data.

Because no higher court has yet ruled on the question, legal trackers expect this decision to directly influence every other generative AI copyright case currently working through US courts.
