Legal experts said there are key differences in Thomson Reuters' case against Ross Intelligence and other major AI-related copyright litigation.

A federal judge in Delaware on Tuesday said that a former competitor of Thomson Reuters was not permitted by U.S. copyright law to copy the information and technology company's content to build a competing artificial intelligence-based legal platform.

After reconsidering the case, the judge issued a partial summary judgement, which asks whether a non-generative AI system’s content counts as original work.
