Fyra's Brief:

Stability AI's Stable Diffusion AI art tool is at the center of a high-profile copyright lawsuit against Getty Images.
The UK High Court declined to rule on the key copyright issue, despite the case's initial promise of setting a landmark precedent for the tech sector and creative industries.
Getty Images has filed a lawsuit against Stability AI in the US, which it hopes will yield a stronger result in its favor.

Quick Take:

The UK High Court's refusal to rule on the central issue of AI copyright law leaves the tech sector and creative industries without clear guidance, creating uncertainty and potential opportunities for future litigation.
