Tech in Asia reports that a U.S. federal court has ruled in favor of allowing most of the New York Times’ claims against several AI companies to proceed. The lawsuit accuses AI developers of training large language models on copyrighted news articles without authorization, constituting copyright infringement.

The decision marks a significant milestone in legal efforts to determine the boundaries of fair use and intellectual property in the age of generative AI. The court rejected some minor claims but held that core allegations around unauthorized copying and derivative works could move forward.

Legal analysts see this as a potentially precedent-setting case that could reshape how AI companies source training data and interact with media content creators.
