Gruffalo illustrator Axel Scheffler weighs legal action against AI firms

Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of the children's classic The Gruffalo, says he is 'seriously considering' suing artificial intelligence companies that reproduce his work without permission. He has consulted a lawyer in Germany but has not named any firm. Scheffler wants AI companies to stop using artists' work, while AI firms argue training on copyrighted material isn't necessarily infringement.
