The other side of copyright infringement IP ownership, copyright, and attribution are not just matters of determining who owns the work generated by AI but also the complex legal implications of the data that goes into training these models. As companies progressively incorporate Gen AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT into their workflows, the question of copyright within training data gains paramount importance. Copyright law forbids the unauthorized replication of copyrighted content and the development of derivative works without proper authorization. When Gen AI models are trained on copyrighted data, enterprises must ask crucial questions: Is the output generated by the AI to be considered a derivative work? In such cases, it becomes essential for companies to diligently adhere to all licensing obligations tied to the core data or code. In the age of AI-powered content creation, enterprises must prioritize adherence to copyright laws, intellectual property rights, and regulatory compliance. It is necessary to consider these crucial considerations to avert potential legal repercussions and damage to a company's reputation. For instance, recent high-profile cases underscore the urgency of addressing copyright concerns in training data. This challenge also extends to the very architecture of machine learning models. If models trained on copyrighted data could be considered derivative works, it may necessitate an open-source approach, introducing additional complexity to organizations' model handling and deployment strategies. Case 1 Comedian Sarah Silverman and authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Open AI and Meta Platforms. They allege that their copyrighted books were violated by the companies' use of ChatGPT for training purposes. This case underscores the significance of upholding copyright regulations and securing appropriate permissions when incorporating content into GenAI applications. Case 2 Microsoft, GitHub, and OpenAI are currently embroiled in a class action lawsuit alleging that they have violated copyright law by permitting the use of Copilot. This Gen AI tool purportedly replicates copyrighted content without proper authorization. This lawsuit highlights the ongoing legal challenges surrounding using Gen AI and the need for clarity in copyright law.
