A US appeals court upholds a ruling for Thomson Reuters in its copyright lawsuit against Ross Intelligence, rejecting Ross' fair use defense for AI training

The Ross loss narrows the room for “fair use” training defenses — especially when outputs are close to proprietary products — and pushes model builders toward licenses or synthetic/clean-room data.
