A federal judge is delaying a massive $1.5 billion settlement in an AI copyright lawsuit, expressing concerns about author protections.
The judge worries that authors might not receive adequate compensation or notice in this class-action settlement agreement.
He wants more information before approval, questioning the fairness of the deal and the addition of extra lawyers increasing legal fees.
This delay will likely prolong the already lengthy legal battle, impacting the final settlement terms for many affected parties.
