Midjourney Thinks Hollywood Should Fess Up About Using AI - Gizmodo

Midjourney has filed a motion in court arguing that Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. should be required to fully disclose their usage of generative AI. The motion follows a judge's ruling in June that limited Midjourney's ability to learn about the studios' use of generative AI technology during the discovery phase of a legal dispute.

In the motion, Midjourney's legal team contends that the studios have not been forthcoming about how much they rely on AI tools for content creation. The company is seeking a court order that would compel the studios to provide detailed information about their AI practices. The June ruling had restricted Midjourney from seeking certain information, which the company now challenges as overly limiting.

The outcome could set a precedent for how much transparency is required from companies using AI in creative industries. The studios have not yet responded publicly to the motion.
