First AI fair use ruling, but probably of little predictive value for the big pending genAI cases, as it involved an AI developer that copied Westlaw headnotes to train a legal research model to directly compete with Westlaw (at least that's how the court describes it).
Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

David Bamman’s work is so cool, and basically impossible without fair use.
A fascinating study first brought to my attention by @entstrategyguy.bsky.social. news.berkeley.edu/2024/11/04/w...
With the help of AI, UC Berkeley researchers confirm Hollywood is getting more diverse - Berkeley News
A new study used facial recognition technology to track the amount of time actors appear on screen in more than 2,300 films.
