The AI Copyright Lawsuits Explosion
New artificial intelligence copyright lawsuits are dropping daily. The website ChatGPT Is Eating the World published a new infographic, which reveals who is being sued the most.
The global lawsuits recently surpassed the 130 mark and the infographic clearly outlines exactly which tech giants are carrying the heaviest legal baggage.
OpenAI remains the primary target for disgruntled creators, publishers, and media companies, topping the list of copyright defendants. Behind the creators of ChatGPT, major industry players like Anthropic, Meta, Alphabet (Google), and Microsoft dominate the infographic. These companies face massive, overlapping lawsuits from book authors, visual artists, and music publishers alike. Furthermore, the litigation isn’t just restricted to text-based Large Language Models (LLMs). Image and video generators like Stability AI, Midjourney, and Runway, as well as AI music startups like Suno and Udio, also occupy the chart, proving that no media sector is untouched.
In early April 2026, the website ChatGPT Is Eating the World also debuted the AI Copyright Case Tracker, which we reported on here.
