Franklin Graves’ Post

Looking for some weekend reading? Check out this one-stop update on #copyright and #ArtificialIntelligence! It’s a report prepared by the Congressional Research Service, nonpartisan shared staff to congressional committees and Members of Congress. The summary considerations for Congress are interesting, too: “Congress may wish to consider whether any of the copyright law questions raised by generative AI programs require amendments to the Copyright Act or other legislation. Congress may, for example, wish to consider legislation clarifying whether AI-generated works are copyrightable, who should be considered the author of such works, or when the process of training generative AI programs constitutes fair use. Given how little opportunity the courts and Copyright Office have had to address these issues, Congress may wish to adopt a wait-and-see approach. As the courts gain experience handling cases involving generative AI, they may be able to provide greater guidance and predictability in this area through judicial opinions. Based on the outcomes of early cases in this field, such as those summarized above, Congress may reassess whether legislative action is needed.” #AI #IntellectualProperty
