The issue of whether generative AI models are guilty of copyright infringement is still largely undetermined.
However, there has been a major development in a lawsuit against AI image and video generator companies.
The amended complaint filed by the artists has made the case stronger.
The complaint argues that even non-copyrighted works may be eligible for copyright protection if they include the artists' distinctive mark, such as their signature.
It also highlights that AI companies using certain datasets would have had to download copyrighted images, making unauthorized copies.
The complaint further states that the architecture of diffusion models, used in AI art generation, is designed to come as close as possible to replicating the initial training material.
