AI and Copyright
Module: ethics
What it is
AI and copyright addresses legal questions about AI-generated content. Key issues include: whether AI outputs can be copyrighted, who owns AI-generated content, whether training on copyrighted works is infringement, and liability for AI that reproduces protected content.
Why it matters
Copyright uncertainty affects how you can use AI outputs. Can you copyright an AI-generated image? Who's liable if AI generates text too similar to a protected work? These questions are being decided through lawsuits and legislation, with significant implications for creators and AI users.
