In this CNPupdate video, Tan Wee Liang, a Practice Trainee at CNPLaw, discusses potential copyright issues with generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems. In particular, the video explains: (1) how the machine learning process and the generated output can potentially infringe copyright in the input information, (2) whether the computational data analysis exception and fair use defence are feasible defences to the aforementioned two instances of potential copyright infringement, and (3) whether copyright can subsist in autonomous AI-generated works. With the current hype surrounding AI systems and their evolving capabilities, this CNPupdate video provides a timely update on some legal considerations when working with such systems.
