Class 9
intellectual property
1. Introduction
Why protect intellectual property? in this video we discuss the most prominent rationals: incentivizing innovation and the protection of a natural right over what is produced.
2. Does model training infringe copyright?
In this video, we start from the 2023 New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft over copyright infringement. Then, we will attempt to answer the following questions: what is the fair use doctrine, and does the training process align with its four main dimensions of purpose, nature, substantiality and effect?
3. Can AI outputs be copyrighted?
Did you know that a selfie taken by a monkey is not copyrightable? In this video, we explore different examples to understand what kind of protections exist for content produced exclusively by AI, or with assistance of AI. Ultimately, we ask ourselves: if certain content is (or is not) copyrightable, who benefits? and who owns that copyright?
4. AI outputs and infringement
When is copyright infringed? In this video, we learn to determine when outputs produced by AI tools infringe the owners' - and specifically when the tool had access to the original work and created it substantially similar outputs. Keeping in mind that copyright laws bar copying an artist's work, but not their general style, we try to apply the same rationale to AI works.
