ChatGPT: what the law says about who owns the copyright of AI-generated content

星期一, 四月 17, 2023

There are many proposed uses for the technology, but its impressive capabilities raise important questions about ownership of the content.

Key Points: 
  • There are many proposed uses for the technology, but its impressive capabilities raise important questions about ownership of the content.
  • Under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 they are “generated by computer in circumstances such that there is no human author of the work”.
  • The law suggests content generated by an artificial intelligence (AI) can be protected by copyright.
  • However, the original sources of answers generated by AI chatbots can be difficult to trace – and they might include copyrighted works.

Question of ownership

    • Now to question two: who can claim copyright to AI-generated content.
    • Copyright law is based around a general principle that only content created by human beings can be protected.
    • The algorithms underpinning ChatGPT were developed at OpenAI, so the company would appear to hold copyright protection over those.
    • There is another option regarding the ownership of AI-generated content: the AI itself.

Future shifts

    • The tech sector believes the copyright to AI-generated content should belong to users, whereas the creative sector wants this content to be excluded from ownership completely.
    • The UK government has not acted on the findings and instead recommended further consultation between the interested parties.
    • If copyright law shifts away from its focus on human agency in future, one could imagine a scenario where an AI is classed as the author and the developers of that AI as the owners of the output.
    • They could end up owning hundreds of thousands of copyrighted materials – songs, published materials, visuals and other digital assets.
