Generative AI Meets Copyright Law: Lawsuits, Fair Use, and the Road Ahead

Presented by: Andrew Jiang

In Andrew Jiang’s presentation, he hosted a discussion about Generative AI and the applications of copyright law. More specifically, he gave a detailed overview of several court cases including the Thomson Reuters Enter. Ctr. GmbH v. Ross Intel. Inc., 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 24296, which was one of the first legal decisions regarding GenAI and copyright infringement, the court found that an AI startup is liable for copyright infringement when it copied all the legal decision summaries in creating a legal research search engine powered by AI. Throughout Andrew’s presentation he provides more applications of fair use tests to GenAI scenarios. View the full recording and presentation on Mediaspace.
