iQiyi sues minimax artificial intelligence model for suspected copyright infringement claim of 100,000 yuan

The well-known video platform iQiyi filed a lawsuit with the People's Court of Xuhui District, Shanghai, accusing artificial intelligence startup MiniMax of infringing on its copyright during AI model training and content generation.

It is reported that iQiyi believes that MiniMax uses its copyrighted materials for AI training without authorization, resulting in the generated content being suspected of infringement, and therefore requires MiniMax to immediately stop the related behavior and compensate 100,000 yuan. MiniMax may argue that the material it uses is a public resource or user-generated content and may invoke the principle of technical neutrality.

As of now, the two parties have not made a public response to the matter, and the legal dispute is still ongoing.
