Can a recent US court ruling on AI and copyright law change how artists protect their work? The Northern District of California court allowed a copyright infringement claim against an AI developer for using an artist's works in AI training without permission. This significant decision, part of Andersen v. Stability AI Ltd., challenges the traditional need for plaintiffs to identify specific works used in training, potentially simplifying copyright claims against AI developers. The case, involving cartoonist Sarah Andersen's works on DeviantArt used by Stability AI's Stable Diffusion model, could reshape the legal landscape for AI and intellectual property. https://lnkd.in/ganRnrcv #aicopywriting #aitraining #ai #ml #copyright

If this decision stands, then I could see IP law being drastically overhauled at the legislative level. The powerful players that lead the media, news, and entertainment industries will exert their influence to ensure they can have their cake and eat it too (i.e., replace as many of their human creators as possible with AI, but still claim copyright protection for the works that AI creates). #ai #genai #llm #copyright #ip #intellectualproperty

Ai is rapidly transforming the art world, but it is also raising concerns about copyright law. A class action lawsuit has been filed against Ai companies that use human-created work without credit or compensation. I think this will be the beginning of more lawsuits to come. #Ai #copyright #art #creativeindustries #lawsuit #legalbattle #Aiintheartworld #copyrightlaw #artistsrights #creativeeconomy #ai #aiart #aiethics #ailaw

The copyright infringement case by visual artists against Midjourney, Stability AI, DeviantArt, Inc., and Runway appears to have gotten stronger in a new filing. Read 👇 https://lnkd.in/eeGxMt4W #ai #ainews #technews #tech #technology #copyright #art #digitalart #aiart #syntheticmedia #aiartwork

If it looks like John Lennon, moves like John Lennon, sounds like John Lennon (and is new), then it is probably AI. The rise of AI raises many challenging new questions (not only) under copyright law. My colleagues Mena Kaplan, Marissa Yu and Jennifer Lei have prepared an interesting piece on the treatment of AI "look-alikes" and "sound-alikes". Take a look! #Freshfields #AI #Copyright

Good Sunday morning. Hope you had a good recommended hours of circadian rest. A USA federal judge ruled that an AI artwork can not enjoy copyright right protection on Friday. In order for copyright protection to be applied, there must be a human in the loop. AI does not have legal personality on its own. It will be interesting going forward, how much human is required for the work/works to be entitled copyright protection? And the gaps that will be exploited as many more copyright issues will arise with the use of AI. #copyright #intellectualproperty #AI #legalpersonhood

Iconic actress Keira Knightley intends to file for copyright on her image because of concerns, which she called "potentially catastrophic," related to the rise of artificial intelligence in the cinema world. In the lack of effective regulations and a thorough legal discussion of the responsibilities of generative AI software, Knightley's move could prove to be effective not just from a media perspective, as the positions of the U.S. Copyright Office appear consistent with protecting pure 'authorship'. This decision follows the current writers' and actors' strikes in the U.S., the first together in over 60 years, started by the use of AI, both in filming and editing, by historical productions and newer ones such as Amazon, Netflix and Apple. The increasing use of deepfake technology for purposes such as advertising and pornography, even with the integration of voice cloning, allows the creation of real artificial alter egos comparable-at least virtually-to the originals. In this regard, in addition to calling for global legislative interventions that take into account the protection of fundamental rights, the role of lawyers is important in forcing platforms and users to restore violated rights, as well as enabling the integration of this extraordinary technology with a society that knows how to use it. 📸 Andrea Raffin

No one knows how U.S. courts will ultimately resolve the many copyright issues raised by generative AI – however, in our new Age of Disruption blog post, my colleague D. Sean West and I set out in one place the seven key AI-related copyright questions that will need to be answered . . . . #AI #machinelearning #ML #copyright #IP

#ICYMI: The Copyright Office Hears from Stakeholders on Important Issues with AI and Copyright. Over the past two months, the Copyright Office hosted four public, virtual listening sessions on the use of artificial intelligence to generate creative works. The listening sessions focused on literary works, including print journalism and software; visual arts; audiovisual works, including video games; and music and sound recordings. Artists, creators, AI developers, researchers, lawyers, academics, and more shared their goals, concerns, and experiences related to the use and impact of generative AI.
