AI Art Generators Are a First of Kind Copyright Infringement Class Action

A group of artists has filed a potential class action against billion dollar company Stability AI along with two other art generator makers, mid-journey and deviant art. The claim is that the generators downloaded and used billions of copyrighted images without obtaining the consent of or compensating any of the artists. These lawsuits could limit the number of images the tools ingest for training, ultimately affecting the content they produce.
