ROSS Intelligence says it will ask the Supreme Court to review a Third Circuit ruling that sided with Thomson Reuters in a long-running copyright case. The now-shuttered AI legal research company announced its intention to appeal after the appeals court decision, which centered on the use of copyrighted material in AI model training.
In a statement, Yar Chaikovsky, a partner at White & Case, said ROSS disagrees with the ruling and believes it creates continued uncertainty around copyright law's application to AI training. “We intend to seek review by the Supreme Court to obtain much-needed clarity on these issues, which carry significant implications for innovation and the development of AI technologies,” he said.
The case has been closely watched because it touches on how copyright law applies when AI systems are trained on protected works. ROSS's petition would come after the Third Circuit's decision, though the source notes the company's statement follows this week's ruling and promises an appeal.
