Toronto AI Company Cohere Asks U.S. Court to Dismiss Media Publishers’ Copyright Lawsuit
- Toronto-Based AI company Cohere asked a New York court on May 23, 2025, to dismiss a copyright lawsuit filed by major news publishers.
- The lawsuit from mostly U.S.-based publishers including Condé Nast, The Atlantic, and Toronto Star accuses Cohere of scraping articles to train AI models without permission.
- Cohere contends the case is based on a demo tool misused by publishers, denies real customers infringe copyright using its software, and says the complaint misrepresents its business.
- In its motion, Cohere argues that the plaintiffs’ extensive complaint does not provide any indication that actual users of Cohere’s products have engaged in or are likely to engage in copyright infringement using its technology.
- The court's ruling could affect future AI copyright litigation and Cohere's request reflects industry-wide debates over content use and legal exemptions for AI training.
