Wuhan court counts AI generation costs in copyright damages for the first time

A court in Wuhan, China, has for the first time included the cost of using AI tools and related licensing fees in the calculation of damages in a copyright infringement case, according to Techub News. The ruling also took into account the cost of using an AI model to generate the infringed content. The report said the decision forms part of China’s broader push to protect copyright in AI-generated works. It may also serve as a reference point for similar cases going forward.
