Summary
Midjourney has filed a court motion in the Central District of California asking a federal judge to compel Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. to disclose their own AI training practices. The AI company is using a fair-use and unclean-hands defense in a copyright case, arguing that the studios themselves use generative AI in their productions — including Disney's $1 billion investment in OpenAI. The motion seeks to force the studios to open their internal files and reveal how they use AI, potentially turning the tables in a high-stakes legal battle over AI training data and copyright infringement.
