Roblox ducks lawsuit for ignoring artist's 'NoAI' tag

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit against Roblox, filed by 3D model artist Austin Beaulier, over the use of his 'NoAI'-tagged content to train AI. Judge Beth Labson Freeman ruled that Beaulier did not sufficiently prove Roblox's actions were intentional, though he can amend his complaint. The case centers on Roblox's alleged removal of 'NoAI' tags during AI training data preprocessing.
