Fair Use and the Future AI: A Closer Examine of Thomson Reuters v. Ross by Mayer Brown
Just two months into 2025, AI and technology law is already seeing significant changes. In this episode, Julian Dibbell and Rich Assmus from our Intellectual Property Practice discuss Thomson Reuters v. Ross. This case is closely watched because it has important implications for AI, data usage, and other areas. We begin by describing the key facts and the legal framework that the court considered, before moving on to the main issue of the decision: fair use. Rich explains the four factors of fair usage and what they mean in the context of AI technology and data technology. We also examine the broader implications and potential impact of the decision on other cases involving AI, training data and companies looking to contract AI products and services. Join us for a discussion on one of this year’s most significant legal decisions.
