Copyright and AI: the Cases and the Consequences
Discussion Points
- Fair Use Protections: Can developers' use of copyrighted material for training AI models be considered fair use, and if so, what are the implications for future uses?
- Expanding Copyright Laws: Would expanding copyright laws to protect against AI-generated content harm research, artistic expression, or job markets, and how would this impact the development of AI technology?
- Licensing Deals and Settlements: What role do licensing deals and settlements play in mitigating potential litigation, and are they effective in protecting developers' interests?
