It's time to put on my teaching hat! Did you know that copyright law is not a fan of artificial intelligence? Yeah, the Copyright Office is denying copyright ownership in [some] creative works generated using AI. Don't let it be you!

Hey LinkedIn family, Declan Dunn and I had a discussion on copyright issues regarding generative AI. Is saying "But this image came from my latent space, I didn't copy the original image..." (made-up quote of course) a good legal argument in your opinion? #aicopyright #generativeai In this discussion, we get into the legal battler between Getty Images and Stability AI and why it can determine the future of AI Copyright Laws.

Did you know you can’t copyright anything AI creates for you? That’s really important to know if intellectual property is important in your business. As an example, if you create a deck of oracle cards using art made by AI, you can’t copyright that deck – anyone else can replicate it and there’s little protection for you. If you don’t follow Amber the Boutique Lawyer, you should. She shares great tips including the proper way to put your copyright on your website, emails and original content so you’re protected.

Check out the article Mark Davies and I wrote for Law360 on "Tracking the Slow Movement of AI Copyright Cases." As of Nov. 7, there are over 30 cases litigating the question of whether AI generated works are a fair use of copyrighted works. When will we get answers? And, as it often happens in IP disputes, will the law lag behind technology? . . . . . #ai #whitecase #aicopyright #ailitigation

Not yet had enough of racking your brains over artificial intelligence and copyright? Then I recommend shifting the focus away from training and protectability and towards copyright infringements in the output of generative AI systems. They can have a wide range of causes, for example the so-called overfitting phenomenon, in which the AI system is overadapted to the used training data. Who should be held responsible for such copyright infringements in the output of generative AI? I have discussed this in terms of liability theory and regulatory framework needs. The analysis can also form a basis for examining the applicable copyright law. Interested? My paper is published in issue 1/2024 of the IPJ/ZGE. And it's open access!

Let me ask you a fun question 👀 If you created content using AI, who holds the copyright to it? Is it you? Is the AI platform you made it on? Is it nobody? Or is it the creator of the data the AI was trained on? Well, whatever answer you do have, chances are, you are probably wrong, and I'm worried this is about to become a 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦. The question of who owns AI-generated content is more than just an academic curiosity—it’s a growing concern that could impact 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲. In my latest article, I explore the murky waters of AI and copyright law, examining who might truly hold ownership and the potential consequences for misuse and claims. The lack of clarity has real implications, from the misuse of Content ID systems to disputes over derivative works that can affect musicians, artists, and content creators alike.

News organizations have been inking licensing deals with AI companies—but they've done so while several copyright lawsuits against tech companies over their AI models are still playing out. 💣 Here's why that matters: a big question underpinning these lawsuits is whether using content without permission to train AI is "fair use." If courts favor the tech firms, it could shake up this freshly established licensing market. 🤔 As Michael Mattioli, an Indiana University intellectual property law professor, said: "Who’s going to be willing to pay for a license if you don’t need one?” ⚖ At the same time, the fact that licensing agreements have sprouted across the media landscape could make it harder for AI companies to battle copyright suits in court.

Former Beatle Paul McCartney has said #AI "could just take over" as the UK debates copyright laws. UK parliament is set to discuss data bill amendments that would let creators decide if their work can be used by AI. Some publishers have made deals for AI training, while others, like the New York Times, have sued for copyright infringement. McCartney supports fair compensation for creatives, emphasizing the risk to young composers and writers. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ggYNnd5s #ai #artificialintelligence #aistartup
