According to a report, OpenAI could face a lawsuit that may result in a $150,000 fine for each piece of copyrighted material used to train the language model. This raises the question: could copyright kill the GPT star?
The controversy surrounding ChatGPT stems from the fact that these AI tools rely on trolling the internet for information to generate responses. If the material sourced by ChatGPT is copyrighted and the owners of the copyright can trace it back, it could spell trouble for OpenAI. However, the issue lies not in the output created by ChatGPT, but in the material used to train the AI model.
Copyright law protects creative works made by humans, but it becomes murkier when it comes to AI-generated content. A famous case involving a monkey taking a photographer’s camera and snapping a selfie sparked a debate on the ownership of the copyright. Ultimately, the court ruled that the monkey did not own the copyright, but neither did the photographer. Similarly, ChatGPT cannot claim copyright on the content it creates.
