Navigating Copyright Rules in The Era of AI – Recent Developments In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the landscape of copyright is undergoing significant challenges and evolution. Jemma Durham, Solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team, examines the complexities surrounding AI and copyright infringements by reviewing the recent claim issued by Getty Images Inc against Stability AI. She also explores the different responses of the UK, the EU and individual companies to this shift. https://lnkd.in/e3X7X-Vh #artificialintelligence #ai #copyright #disputeresolution #corporateinsights #getty #stabilityai #businessnews

U.S. Copyright Office's first report on AI recently published: Part 1 covers Digital Replicas (a.k.a. Deep Fakes). Topline: a new federal law is needed “to protect individuals from the appropriation of their persona” - not just celebrities, but regular folk. What legislation the U.S. Congress actually produces (and when) remains to be seen, as is the effect on Media and Entertainment's use of GenAI and everything underneath it. Additional reports will follow covering copyright-ability of generative AI content, use of copyrighted works to train AI models, infringement and licensing. A lot to pay attention to, and also to navigate while the legal frameworks continue to form. The report is here: https://lnkd.in/gTaWBBNm and an interesting high-level interview about it with a senior Copyright Office official: https://lnkd.in/g6S9pGRF #ArtificialIntelligence #generativeAI

The growing popularity and use of Generative AI has presented interesting challenges for copyright law globally. Issues which have come into consideration include the copyrightability of content produced using Generative AI, and the infringement of copyright by Generative AI tools which will be discussed in light of the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022.

I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my latest article titled "Generative AI and the Anomaly in Copyright Laws". This piece explores how Artificial Intelligence intersects with Copyright laws by examining the scope and developments in the existing legal framework,with specific reference to the EU AI Act . Please do check out the Article at The Legal Quorum and share your opinions. https://lnkd.in/dsJ_6bQn. #ArtificialIntelligence #Copyrightlaws #IntellectualPropertylaws #GenerativeAi #EUAIAct #Copyrightprotection #Techlaw Chinmay Lenka Rakshit Rajput

Do Generative Artificial Intelligence models violate copyright law? Tensions between AI developers and copyright holders have risen as courts and government agencies race to answer this question. Whatever the answer may be, it will surely define the future of AI development.   Read more in RSIS Commentary “The Copyright Dilemma Shaping the Future of Generative AI” by Associate Research Fellow Jose Miguelito Enriquez.        #RSIS #RSISCommentary #Copyright #AI #GenAI  

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape and change the creative landscape, the conversation surrounding legal copyright issues has taken centre stage.

How Current Copyright Laws Address AI-Generated Works 📝💻 Did you know that many countries, including the U.S., do not grant copyright protection for works generated entirely by AI? 🚫🤖 However, in cases where AI is used as a tool, with a human making creative decisions, that human can own the copyright. This creates a complex gray area where the lines between human authorship and machine contribution blur. What does this mean for businesses and creators? Understanding the legal landscape is key to protecting and leveraging your AI-assisted creations. Let’s explore the laws and the growing debate around AI and intellectual property. #NovaLexi #IPAwareness #Innovation #AI #Copyright #AIgenerated #IntellectualProperty #SaudiVision2030 #SAIP #NIPST #MachineLearning #LegalTech

Creativity, copyright, AI and (burden of) proof: creativity must henceforth be proven. ‘However, this involves a characteristic that can be known from the product itself’. That is what the Dutch Supreme Court considered in 2008 about the degree of creativity required for copyright protection. However, due to the use of AI systems, the creativity required for copyright protection can no longer be known from the product itself. This contribution (in Dutch) published in the journal Tijdschrift voor Internetrecht (nr. 3 juli 2024) defends the thesis that this consideration is therefore no longer tenable and examines what this means. After the publication of this article I have been made aware that Bernt Hugenholtz has argued exactly the same thing in the Ernst Numann-issue of IER in 2020: https://lnkd.in/egGDuRpw #AI #Copyright #creativity #burdenofproof

Fun Fact 👉🏻 Works created by Artificial Intelligence are not copyrightable. US copyright rules only allow protection for works with "human authorship." These rules were actually in existence long before AI entered the scene - the Copyright Office once famously rejected a photograph taken by a monkey and a piece driftwood sculpted by the ocean. Now that AI works are more common, this rule was galvanized again by the Federal Courts last year. Some "AI assisted" works do qualify for copyright protection, though. For instance, if AI generates images and a human arranges them in a "sufficiently creative" way, it would be copyrightable. Let's see if these rules stand the test of time in our fast-changing world. #copyrightlaw #artificialintelligence #artlaw

AI’s copyright crunch: Leading AI companies are being hit with a wave of copyright lawsuits as they approach a "data frontier," running out of easily accessible material to train their models. The latest: Anthropic, an AI start-up, is facing a lawsuit from authors who claim it used their copyrighted books without permission. This adds to high-profile cases like The New York Times suing OpenAI and Microsoft for profiting from their copyrighted content. Why it matters: With traditional data sources running dry, AI firms are forced to scrape deeper parts of the web, strike deals for private data, or create synthetic data. The outcome of these lawsuits could set crucial precedents, impacting how AI is trained and how copyright law is applied to digital content.
