Midjourney is seeking to overturn a court ruling that limits the discovery of AI usage details from Hollywood studios that previously sued the AI image generator. The studios, including Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, and Universal Pictures, accused Midjourney of copyright infringement for generating images of their characters. Midjourney argues that the studios also use AI for training on copyrighted data and that this information is crucial for its fair use defense. The AI company wants to compel the studios to reveal their AI business plans, training datasets, and internal AI development practices, asserting that this evidence would demonstrate hypocrisy and weaken the studios' case.
