Reported Earlier, Japan Interest Rate Decision Unchanged At 0.50%

Senate Republicans seek to end the $7500 EV credit currently available on EV purchases amid U.S. President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943245/trump-says-he-was-amazed-that-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-endorsed-him-despite-his-anti-ev-stance">Donald Trump's crackdown</a> on all-electric mobility in the country.&nbsp;
What Happened: The GOP representatives in the Senate want to end the Federal EV credit within 180 days after the proposal is signed into law, Reuters reported on Monday.
The proposal also seeks to end the $4000 credit on used EVs within 90 days of the bill's approval, as well as an immediate end to the $7500 credit on EVs manufactured outside of the U.S., the report suggests.
According to the report, Senate Republicans&#8217; tax proposal differs from the bill proposed by House Republicans, which states that automakers that have yet to hit the 200,000 EV units sold can still avail the credit till the end of 2026.
Why It Matters: The proposal is in line with the Trump administration's crackdown on EVs, as a part of which, the President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45911368/trump-signs-resolutions-to-overturn-californias-ev-mandate-report">signed a resolution</a> that overturned California's EV mandate that sought to phase out ICE-powered vehicles by 2035. 11 other states also adopted the California bill.
Trump's reversal of the resolution could be a major boost for General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), which was against the California mandate due to it not reflecting the reality of the market, according to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45488137/general-motors-wants-to-overturn-californias-aggressive-ev-mandate-as-demand-slows-in-the-us-report">company-wide email</a> the management shared.

Amid Trump's Anti-EV Push, Senate Republicans Propose Tax Bill To Axe $7500 EV Credit

President Donald Trump cut short his Group of Seven summit attendance in Canada&#8217;s Kananaskis, citing escalating Iran-Israel hostilities that demanded immediate attention in Washington. 
What Happened: &#8220;I have to be back early for obvious reasons,&#8221; Trump said on Monday before departing after dinner.

The president&#8217;s early exit coincided with significant market volatility as safe-haven assets surged. Gold futures climbed to approximately $3,390 per ounce Monday, gaining 0.09% amid Middle East tensions.
WTI crude oil futures rose to around $72.8 per barrel as Israel vowed continued strikes against Iran, raising concerns about potential energy supply disruptions.

Trump Exits G7 Summit Early Citing 'Obvious Reasons' Amid Escalating Iran-Israel Conflict: Gold, Oil ETFs Spike In After-Hours Trading

Eric Trump, the executive vice president of The Trump Organization, denied any involvement with Justin Sun's Tron (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/trx/usd">TRX</a>) venture on Monday, which is purportedly planning to go public in the U.S.
What happened: Trump spoke highly of the controversial cryptocurrency billionaire in an X post.
"I'm the biggest fan of Tron and love Justin Sun—he is a great friend and an icon in the crypto space," he wrote.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
However, in the next breath, he categorically denied an earlier Financial Times report that claimed he is expected to join Justin Sun&#8217;s upcoming venture in an official role.
"That said the below is inaccurate &#8211; I don't have public involvement," he said.
The Financial Times didn't immediately return Benzinga's request for comment.

Why It Matters: Trump's denial comes hours after the Financial Times reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/25/06/45951049/justin-suns-tron-plans-us-public-listing-amid-deepening-ties-with-trump-family-and-crypto-political-shift">Tron is planning to go public</a> in the U.S. through a reverse merger with collectibles company SRM Entertainment (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRM#NASDAQ">SRM</a>).
The report also mentioned that a New York-based investment firm linked to President Donald Trump‘s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., is facilitating the deal, which mirrors the playbook used by Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) holding company Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>).
Sun has strengthened his relationship with the Trumps lately.&nbsp; Apart from being a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42198909/trump-linked-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-appoints-justin-sun-as-advisor-after-30-million-investment">leading investor and advisor</a> at World Liberty Financial, the decentralized finance platform backed by the Trump family, he was invited to an exclusive dinner with Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45367052/trump-memecoin-exclusive-dinner-guest-list-revealed-with-justin-sun-shining-at-the-top-rep">as the largest investor</a> in Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) memecoin.
Notably, Sun and the SEC had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/44543856/justin-sun-features-on-forbes-cover-talks-crypto-and-trump-linked-investments">stopped litigation early this year</a> to resolve claims of unregistered securities sales and market manipulation against Sun and his companies.

Eric Trump Says He Doesn't Have 'Public Involvement' In Justin Sun's MSTR-Type Public Venture, But Admits He's A 'Fan' Of Tron And Its Founder

OpenAI has secured a $200 million defense contract to develop artificial intelligence capabilities for national security applications, according to contracts released by the Department of Defense on Monday.
What Happened: The Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office awarded the fixed-amount prototype agreement for &#8220;frontier AI capabilities to address critical national security challenges in both warfighting and enterprise domains,&#8221; the Pentagon stated. Work will be performed primarily in the National Capital Region through July 2026.
The contract represents OpenAI&#8217;s largest known government deal as the company simultaneously pursues a $40 billion funding round led by SoftBank Group Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>). Reuters reported that Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund and India&#8217;s Reliance Industries could each contribute <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45898547/openai-looks-to-raise-40-billion-from-global-investors-including-saudi-arabias-pif-indias-reliance-industries-to-accelerate-ai-models-and-stargate-report">several hundred million dollars to the financing</a>.
OpenAI&#8217;s revenue growth has accelerated dramatically, reaching a $10 billion annualized run rate in June, nearly doubling from $5.5 billion at 2024&#8217;s end, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852700/openai-surges-past-10-billion-in-annualized-revenue-amid-record-chatgpt-use-leaves-rivals-like-amazon-backed-anthropic-behind">according to company statements</a>. The figure excludes Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) licensing revenue and one-time deals.

Why It Matters: ChatGPT usage has surged to 500 million weekly active users as of March, driving the revenue expansion. The company targets $12.7 billion in 2025 revenue after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45852700/openai-surges-past-10-billion-in-annualized-revenue-amid-record-chatgpt-use-leaves-rivals-like-amazon-backed-anthropic-behind">posting a $5 billion loss in 2024</a>.
The defense contract coincides with OpenAI&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45665394/openais-300-billion-public-benefit-shift-faces-scrutiny-as-delaware-ag-moves-to-hire-investment-bank-for-independent-valuation-report">complex $300 billion corporate restructuring</a> into a public-benefit corporation.

OpenAI Wins $200 Million US Defense Contract For AI Warfare Capabilities As The Company Looks To Raise $40 Billion

The Pentagon has denied Wisconsin&#8217;s $18 million grant application for noise mitigation funding to address F-35 fighter jet noise affecting Madison residents, while simultaneously cutting Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45890410/lockheed-martin-stock-slides-wednesday-whats-going-on">aircraft orders in half amid broader defense budget reductions</a>.
What Happened: Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) expressed disappointment over the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation&#8217;s decision to reject Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs&#8217; funding request. 
The grant would have provided sound insulation for over 160 homes near Truax Field, along with new windows and HVAC systems for residents impacted by elevated noise levels from F-35 operations.
Since F-35 deployment at Truax Field began in 2020, Pocan&#8217;s office has documented consistent resident complaints about noise levels and concerns over potential property damage and health impacts.
The congressman secured $50 million in fiscal 2021 appropriations for the Noise Mitigation Community Partnership Program specifically to address these Madison-area concerns.

Why It Matters: The grant denial coincides with Pentagon budget cuts that have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45877736/lockheed-martin-hit-as-pentagon-slashes-air-forces-f-35-order-in-half-amid-budget-cuts">significantly impacted Lockheed Martin&#8217;s F-35 program</a>.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth&#8216;s directive mandates 8% annual spending reductions over five years, leading to the Air Force&#8217;s F-35A request being slashed from 48 to 24 aircraft for fiscal 2026.
Congressional procurement documents show the Air Force will request $3.5 billion for F-35 purchases plus $531 million for advance procurement, down from previous projections. The Navy&#8217;s request dropped to 12 carrier variants from 17, while Marine Corps orders fell by two aircraft.
Pocan has requested detailed explanations for the grant denial and demanded that Pentagon officials visit Madison to meet directly with affected residents.
LMT gained 2.33% during Thursday's regular session. According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, the stock shows modest strength in momentum, growth, and quality factors. However, it scores poorly on valuation and exhibits a negative price trend over the short to long term.

Lockheed Martin's F-35 Jets Spark Outcry In Madison As Pentagon Rejects $18 Million Noise Mitigation Grant

Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang says he will hold off on parenthood until children can be born into a world where brain-computer interfaces such as Elon Musk's Neuralink are routine.
What Happened: "When we get Neuralink and we get these other technologies, kids who are born with them are gonna learn how to use them in like crazy, crazy ways," Wang told The Shawn Ryan Show, calling the devices "superintelligence&#8221; for the next generation.
Wang argued that the first seven years of life offer unmatched "neuroplastic" potential and therefore the best window to fuse biology with silicon. "Your brain is more neuroplastic than at any other point in your life," he said, adding that early adopters will leverage interfaces in ways adults can't. Scientists at NIH define &#8216;neuroplasticity&#8217; as the brain&#8217;s ability to adapt and change.

The search giant had planned to pay Scale about $200 million for human-labeled training data this year, but it is now negotiating with alternative vendors. Microsoft and Elon Musk's xAI have also cooled their ties, leaving Scale's $870 million-a-year business vulnerable just as CEO Alexandr Wang heads to Meta.

What Happened: Bitcoin nearly hit $109,000 late evening, marking a sharp recovery from the downsides triggered due to the Iran-Israel war.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Investors have been on edge since the beginning of the hostilities between the two regional rivals. However, the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45952716/stock-market-today-sp500-rises-iran-israel-nasdaq-near-record-highs"> jitters were eased</a> after reports said that Iran wants to de-escalate tensions and return to negotiations.
But the optimism seems to have faded after Trump ordered residents of the Iranian capital, Tehran, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45964856/trump-asks-everyone-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-odds-of-us-striking-iran-spike-on-crypto-betting-platform">to immediately evacuate</a>, sending stock futures and cryptocurrencies tumbling. Bitcoin fell below $107,000 on the news.
Ethereum saw a similar trajectory, rising to an intraday high of $2,680.09 only to fall below $2,500.
About $381 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for $204 million.&nbsp;
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest rose 2.91% after days of decline and flat movement. Over 60% of Binance traders with open BTC positions were positioned short, according to the long/short ratio, indicating expectations of further downside.
The "Greed" sentiment strengthened from 61 to 68, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Lose Early Gains After Trump's 'Immediately Evacuate' Warning Amid Iran-Israel Conflict: Analyst Sees 'Great' Signal For Risk-On Appetite If This Happens

Japan&#8217;s SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>) is reportedly looking to raise $4.9 billion via a sizable overnight stake sale.
What Happened: On Tuesday, it was revealed that the Japanese investment holding company would be raising these funds via an unregistered overnight block sale of its stake in T Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>), according to a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-16/softbank-seeks-to-raise-4-9-billion-in-t-mobile-share-sale-mbzn3ujs">report</a> by Bloomberg News, which saw the terms of the deal.
SoftBank is offering 21.5 million shares in the telecom giant at a price range of $224 to $228 per share, representing a 3% discount to T-Mobile&#8217;s closing price on Monday, at $230.99.
The deal, when completed, is set to be the largest U.S. equity block sale since Toronto-Dominion Bank's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>) $13.1 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/25/01/42921113/deal-dispatch-td-bank-charles-schwab-eyenovia-smart-share-hit-auction-block">divestiture of its stake</a> in Charles Schwab Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) in February. It also adds to the growing wave of equity offerings by new and existing shares, reaching $91.4 billion so far in 2025, up from $75.9 billion last year.

As of March 31, 2025, SoftBank held 85.4 million T-Mobile shares, equivalent to a 7.52% stake, which was originally acquired as part of Sprint Corp.&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/19/12/14912449/what-the-sprint-t-mobile-merger-trial-means-for-investors">$26.5 billion merger</a> with T-Mobile in 2020. SoftBank had acquired a majority stake in T-Mobile back in 2013.
Following the proposed transaction, SoftBank&#8217;s stake will shrink by 1.9 percentage points, leaving it with a roughly 5.6% stake in the company. 
The transaction is being managed by Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and neither SoftBank nor T-Mobile has immediately responded to Benzinga&#8217;s request for a comment.
Why It Matters: This move might prompt T-Mobile&#8217;s majority stakeholder, Deutsche Telekom AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DTEGY#OTC">DTEGY</a>), to vie for greater control of the company, something that it&#8217;s been pursuing for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/21/05/21199432/deutsche-telekom-eyeing-majority-stake-in-t-mobile-by-acquiring-softbanks-share-bloomberg">past several years</a>. 
SoftBank continues to pursue investment opportunities in the U.S., having led a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43374528/softbank-may-lead-openais-40-billion-funding-round-at-a-300-billion-valuation-despite-deepseek-disruption-report">$40 billion investment round</a> in OpenAI early this year.
The company&#8217;s CEO, Masayoshi Son, had earlier committed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42505666/softbanks-masayoshi-son-to-reportedly-announce-100b-us-investment-during-meeting-with-trump">investing $100 billion</a> in the United States during a meeting with the then President-Elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago late last year.
Price Action: T-Mobile shares were up 1.31% on Monday, ending the day at $230.99, but are down 3.89% after hours following news of the stake sale.

The company&#8217;s shares show strong Momentum, and rank well on Quality according to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, but only have a favorable price trend in the long term. See <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">here</a> for deeper insights into the stock, the company, its peers, and competitors.

Cathie Wood's Monday Shuffle: Buys Nvidia, Sells Meta — Ark Also Dumps Hot Circle Stock

President Donald Trump asked citizens of Tehran, Iran&#8217;s capital, to &#8220;immediately&#8221; evacuate the city on Monday, as cryptocurrency bettors increased the likelihood that the U.S. would join Israel in the war against the Middle Eastern country.
What happened: Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, "Iran should have signed the &#8216;deal' I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON."
Trump then asked people to "immediately" evacuate the capital city of Tehran, home to around 10 million people.

More than $5.3 million has been wagered on the bet, and the market would resolve to "Yes" if the U.S. initiates a military action on Iranian soil, airspace, or maritime territory or against any Iranian embassies or consulates before June 30.
Why It Matters: Israel has been launching strikes on Iran since Thursday of last week, but the U.S. has stayed out of the conflict.

Trump Asks 'Everyone' To Immediately Evacuate Tehran, Odds Of US Striking Iran Spike On Crypto Betting Platform

Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, Iranian lawmakers are contemplating a significant legislative move that could see the nation withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This development, confirmed by the foreign ministry on Monday, comes as geopolitical strains with Israel intensify.
What Happened: Iranian lawmakers are drafting a bill that could lead Tehran to withdraw from the NPT, as stated by the foreign ministry on Monday. According to Reuters, this move comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions and accusations regarding Iran&#8217;s nuclear ambitions.
The NPT, which Iran joined in 1970, allows nations to develop civilian nuclear power while prohibiting the creation of nuclear weapons. However, Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities have been under scrutiny, with the International Atomic Energy Agency recently declaring Tehran in violation of its NPT commitments. Despite this, Iran maintains that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson&nbsp;Esmaeil Baghaei&nbsp;mentioned that the government must enforce parliamentary bills, but coordination with parliament is still in the early stages. He also noted that recent events, such as an attack by Israel, influence Iran&#8217;s strategic decisions. Israel, which is believed to have nuclear weapons, has accused Iran of nearing nuclear bomb development, a claim Iran denies.
The spokesperson said that Israel&#8217;s military action &#8220;naturally affect the strategic decisions of the state.&#8221;
Iranian President&nbsp;Masoud Pezeshkian&nbsp;reiterated that nuclear weapons contradict&nbsp;a religious edict by Supreme&nbsp;Leader&nbsp;Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. As of now, no final decision has been made by the Iranian parliament regarding leaving the NPT.

Why It Matters: The potential withdrawal from the NPT by Iran comes on the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45933856/iran-fires-ballistic-missiles-at-israel-tel-aviv-struck">series of military escalations</a> with Israel. Last week, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel, marking a significant escalation in hostilities. This was a direct response to Israeli air raids on Iranian targets.
Despite these tensions, there are signs of potential de-escalation. Iran has reportedly expressed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45952716/stock-market-today-sp500-rises-iran-israel-nasdaq-near-record-highs">willingness to resume</a> negotiations over its nuclear program, provided the United States stays out of the conflict, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. This development could ease geopolitical jitters that have recently impacted global markets.
Furthermore, the ongoing conflict has influenced global oil markets, with investors pouring into energy stocks, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45948662/iran-israel-tensions-fuel-oil-rally-investors-are-piling-into-energy-etfs">anticipating continued volatility</a> in the region. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) saw a significant influx of capital following the recent military actions. On Monday, XLE ended the day 0.3% lower at $87.84. Photo Courtesy: rarrarorro on Shutterstock.com

Disney (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) and Universal, the powerhouse studios behind Star Wars, Frozen, and Kung Fu Panda, have filed a major copyright lawsuit involving an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45847032/ibm-acquires-ai-startup-seek-and-launches-500m-backed-watsonx-ai-labs-in-nyc-to-tackle-data-innovation-with-agentic-intelligence">AI startup</a>, described by <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/disney-universal-sue-ai-startup-midjourney-plagiarism/493100">Entrepreneur</a> as a potential first for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45651756/streaming-wars-heat-up-how-moonvalleys-123m-ai-bet-could-shape-hollywoods-future">Hollywood</a>. The case targets Midjourney, a text-to-image generator that allegedly enabled users to produce visuals featuring copyrighted characters owned by the studios.
Filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, the 110-page complaint accuses Midjourney of building a commercial enterprise off protected intellectual property. According to the lawsuit, the studios had issued cease-and-desist letters to Midjourney's counsel, demanding the unauthorized content be stopped.

</ul>
&#8220;Midjourney, which has attracted millions of subscribers and made $300 million last year alone, is focused on its own bottom line and ignored Plaintiffs' demands,&#8221; the filing reads. When those warnings were ignored, Disney and Universal moved forward with legal action. The lawsuit says that Midjourney&#8217;s paid plans reportedly range from $10 to $120 per month, contributing to its explosive financial growth since launching.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Midjourney&#8217;s Fast Growth Draws Major Legal Firepower</h2>
Founded in 2021, Midjourney has grown rapidly by offering AI-generated images within seconds, fueled entirely by user prompts. With just 11 full-time employees, the company <a href="https://www.midjourney.com/home">describes</a> itself as a small, self-funded operation. The lawsuit alleges its rapid expansion has come at the expense of long-established copyrights, turning beloved characters into AI fodder without authorization.

The lawsuit highlights a roster of well-known characters allegedly reproduced by Midjourney's platform. Disney's complaint cites the unauthorized use of Darth Vader from Star Wars, Elsa from Frozen, Lightning McQueen from Cars, and Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. Universal's claims include the depiction of Minions from Despicable Me, Po from Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, as well as Hiccup and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon.
According to the filing, only the studios maintain legal rights to commercialize these characters and develop content or merchandise around them. One line in the complaint describes Midjourney as a "bottomless pit of plagiarism," accusing the startup of undermining the basic framework of U.S. copyright law. The studios are seeking a jury trial to establish boundaries around what generative AI platforms can legally create.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Battle Looms For AI And Copyright Control</h2>
In the filing, Disney and Universal frame the lawsuit as more than a defense of individual characters, describing Midjourney's business model as a direct threat to the creative economy and the broader U.S. film industry.
Calling the infringement "systematic, ongoing, and willful," the plaintiffs argue the damage is both substantial and irreparable, not just to their own properties but to the incentive system that fuels the $260 billion American motion picture economy.
The lawsuit arrives during a critical moment for AI litigation. Just one week prior, Reddit (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) filed its own suit against Anthropic, alleging unauthorized use of its forum content for AI training purposes,<a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/reddit-lawsuit-anthropic-ai-3b9624dd"> The Wall Street Journal</a> reports. Getty Images (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GETY#NYSE">GETY</a>) is also<a href="https://copyrightalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Getty-Images-v.-Stability-AI-Complaint.pdf"> pursuing</a> a multimillion dollar case against Stability AI for allegedly scraping over 12 million copyrighted visuals from its platform.
