Artificial Intelligence Litigation Roundup

July 7th, 2025|Categories: Complex Business Litigation, Intellectual Property|Tags: , , , , |

The ongoing rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping legal landscapes, with a surge in antitrust and copyright lawsuits challenging the way AI integrates into business and creative industries. Key cases target AI-driven pricing platforms like RealPage and Yardi Systems, with plaintiffs alleging these tools enable collusive price fixing and drive up costs in sectors such as real estate, healthcare, hospitality, and equipment rental by aggregating and sharing sensitive commercial data. Meanwhile, copyright battles have intensified as creators, publishers, and developers sue major tech companies—including Cohere, Stability AI, OpenAI, Meta, GitHub, Microsoft, and Google—over the unlicensed use of their works to train AI models. These lawsuits argue that using copyrighted material without consent threatens creators’ rights and business models, while defendants counter with fair use and public domain defenses. The outcomes of these pivotal cases will set crucial precedents on acceptable AI practices, copyright scope, and the use of data for training language models. As AI continues to advance, these legal battles will play a defining role in shaping the future of competition, creativity, and consumer protection across industries worldwide.
