"As the AI revolution accelerates and continues to reshape traditional business models, it has triggered a cascade of new legal, regulatory and policy challenges. At the forefront of these emerging issues are a growing number of high-stakes legal battles between content creators and major Generative AI (GenAI) companies behind large language models (LLMs). This article examines key legal themes and critical questions arising from recent developments at the intersection of AI and Copyright law."
"At the core of these disputes is a central legal question: Does training AI models on copyrighted content without explicit authorization constitute copyright infringement? This inquiry turns on whether such uses can be shielded by doctrines like "fair use" in the United States, or their equivalents in other jurisdictions. Courts are now being asked to navigate complex legal, economic, and technical dimensions of the fair use doctrine."
The AI revolution has accelerated changes to traditional business models and created new legal, regulatory, and policy challenges. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed by authors, artists, and music publishers challenging how large language models use copyrighted material during training. Notable cases include The New York Times v. OpenAI, Disney v. Midjourney, and Encyclopedia Britannica v. Perplexity AI. The central legal question asks whether training AI on copyrighted content without authorization constitutes infringement or falls under fair use or equivalent doctrines. Courts must evaluate the purpose, character, and extent of training uses, assess transformativeness, and weigh economic and technical evidence.
