Copyright and AI
Society & Law
Rights in AI input/output and training data.
Copyright & AI concerns the use of protected works in training, rights in generated outputs, and licensing/liability questions.
- Training: Depending on jurisdiction, exceptions/consent apply (e.g., text- and data-mining rules); rights holders may restrict use.
- Output: Protectability often depends on human contribution; purely machine-generated content may not be protected.
- Licensing: Model and dataset licenses (open-source or model-specific) include conditions (purpose limits, attribution, usage restrictions).
- Compliance: Document sources, opt-out signals, terms of use, and rights chains.
