Intellectual Property disrupted…Generative AI

Weapons of Mass Disruption

Artificial Intelligence, specifically generative AI has been scraping the Internet to “create” new artifacts in the form of text, software, art, and other expressions previously thought to be the realm of humans. Much of the data being ingested and regurgitated by generative AI are considered to be intellectual property. If a human were to use this data, we would be required to cite our sources or license the use of the material. Without consent to use, humans would be violating IP laws, but we have not established the rules of the game for generative AI engines like ChatGPT or DALL-E. On this episode of WMD, Dr. Tamara Schwartz welcomes back her colleague and former cohost, Dr. James Norrie, the founder of CyberconIQ to discuss the legal and ethical questions that are raised by generative AI.
