Dr Robyn Trigg’s Post

In 2021, while studying in the Media, Communication and Space Law program at the University of Luxembourg, I wrote a course paper on copyrighting dreams in IP law. As AI technology continues to rapidly develop, I'm reminded of the relevance of my essay in understanding copyright in AI. That's why I recently published the essay on my blog.

2024 will certainly be another interesting year for copyright lawyers as AI cases mount and progress, legislation is proposed and implemented, and further deals are done between developers and creators. Always an open question is whether the market, courts and legislators can move quickly - and cautiously - enough to provide legal and business clarity that will deliver on the promise of innovation and security for the next generation of creators. Beyond 2024, a looming challenge is how to create a consistent global framework that will ensure the winners and losers in this evolution of technology are not divided along geographic lines. https://lnkd.in/eG4Vdq5G

Hong Kong is moving towards updating its copyright regulations to keep pace with the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence (#AI). The European Parliament is also taking steps to ensure that the level of AI use by government and private enterprises is in line with the protection of fundamental rights. In April, a vote on proposed AI legislation is scheduled after two committees earlier endorsed a provisional law. Experts in the field have backed changes to the legislation to protect creators who use this technology. A review of the outdated regulations is underway to ensure that they cover #AI. This is a positive step forward in protecting creators and their work. Stay up to date on the changes in the pipeline here: https://lnkd.in/g_rNe9zc.

General Purpose AI models (GPAI), as defined in Art 3 (63), are “an AI model, including where such an AI model is trained with a large amount of data using self-supervision at scale, that displays significant generality and is capable of competently performing a wide range of distinct tasks regardless of the way the model is placed on the market and that can be integrated into a variety of downstream systems or applications.

The Beijing Internet Court has ruled in favor of an AI-generated image being considered an artwork protected by copyright laws, encouraging the use of AI tools for creativity. The court's decision is the first of its kind in China and is believed to show support for AI-driven creativity. The ruling requires the defendant to issue a public apology and pay the plaintiff 500 yuan in compensation, setting a precedent for future AI-related cases. The judge emphasized that the decision should be made on a case-by-case basis. #AI #China https://lnkd.in/gUVNK7AU

This will be an interesting one to watch. My best guess is that even if the AI makers lose this case, the government will allow just them a pass on copyright law or do something to make it so they're able to still develop their AI models. There's too much money backing the AI developers, and lining government officials pockets, for the government to not make them successful. https://lnkd.in/ezi4TkqW

#Genai #ai #LLM #openai Interesting argument here by Bruegel - should we free up Generative AI from the constraints of IP and copyright rules?

In this article, DLA Piper lawyers Edward Chatterton and Wilson Lung explain a recent Chinese court judgment and review how luxury brands can protect copyright in AI-assisted work. In the recent Li v. Liu decision, the Beijing Internet Court was willing to grant copyright protection over a work created by prompting an AI tool, a more liberal approach than the position the authorities have taken in the United States. However, the court’s decision very much depended on the facts of the case, demonstrating that the application of the legal principles can present complexities in practice. #ai #luxurylaw #internet #Beijing #courts #iplaw https://lnkd.in/gqaR625N
