The Impact of the Supreme Court's Goldsmith Decision on Copyright Enforcement Against AI Tools

Edward D. Lanquist & Dominic Rota

The U.S. Supreme Court's opinion in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith sent ripples through the legal and artistic communities. Months later, legal scholars and art journalists continue to debate whether the decision opens the door for federal courts to act as "art critics." Many, however, downplay how the Supreme Court's decision impacts the ways in which copyright owners may enforce their rights against generative AI tools.

Whether prompted to write a corporate slogan, create music, generate works of art and advertisements, or summarize a book — GAI can do it all.
