Disney lawyer says Midjourney lawsuit likely not last case, Bloomberg says

Earlier this month, Disney (DIS) filed a lawsuit against Midjourney, an AI company whose model allows people to generate an image using a text prompt, Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg reports. After determining the model had been trained on characters such as Darth Vader and Deadpool, Disney sent several notices asking the startup to take down material that infringed on its copyrights, which went ignored. While Midjourney is not the most important AI company in the world, this marks the first time a major Hollywood studio has taken legal action against an AI company. “It is part of a campaign to protect our intellectual property rights in the world of generative AI,” Disney’s top lawyer Horacio Gutierrez said recently. “This is our first case, but it likely won’t be the last.”
