Midjourney wants Hollywood studios to reveal the details of their AI usage

The company argues that studios should disclose their own internal AI usage to prove that training models on copyrighted content is an industry-wide practice.

As part of an ongoing legal dispute with three Hollywood studios, AI startup Midjourney is seeking to compel those studios to reveal how they use AI themselves.
