A collective of artists has broadened their copyright infringement lawsuit to include AI developers Stability AI, Midjourney, DeviantArt, and most recently, Runway AI.

They argue that these AI-driven tools are capable of generating art that is virtually indistinguishable from their original work, especially when artist names are used as input prompts.

Initially dismissed due to insufficient evidence, the case has been reopened, now encompassing new claims, including breaches of trademark laws.

This legal development underscores the ongoing debate within the artistic community, as AI-generated art gains prominence, stirring concerns about the implications for copyright and the fundamental rights of creators.
