A federal judge in New York allowed the lawsuit to proceed with audio artists claiming that their voices were stolen by Amnesty International.

Judge Paul Sky Lermann and Winnis Sig rejected their voices subject to federal copyright.

However, the claims made by artists violated contract and deceptive commercial practices, in addition to separate copyright claims that claim that the sounds were incorrectly used as part of artificial intelligence training data, will move forward.

California -based Lovo Inc has requested that the case be fully rejected. The company has not yet responded to the BBC comment.

The judge’s decision comes after a flood of cases from artists against artificial intelligence companies that claim to misuse their work to train artificial intelligence models.

Artists’ lawyer, Steve Cohen, described the decision as a “amazing victory for his customers”, saying that he is confident that the future jury “carries great technology.”

Lovo’s lawyers described the artists ‘allegations that the “kitchen sink approach”, saying that the artists’ claims failed to submit a demand for an operation against the company.
