Generative artificial intelligence’s conflicts with copyright law
By Jaclyn Flint — Associate AttorneyThis article first appeared in the March 27, 2024 issue of “The Indiana Lawyer”. We have published an excerpt.
Generative artificial intelligence systems, such as ChatGPT or OpenAI, have the potential to revolutionize the world as we know it. But copyright law may slam the brakes on the generative AI revolution.
Although generative AI is able to collect and process massive amounts of content to generate new expressions, these systems often do not align with the rights granted to owners of the original content used to create such new expressions.
Copyrights protect “original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.” 17 U.S.C. § 102(a).
