Can Copyright Laws Halt the Rise of ChatGPT and Generative AI? 🤖

ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms train on millions or even billions of words and images from the internet. Some of that content is in the public domain. Sometimes that content is licensed. But much of the content that generative AI trains on is neither. Getty Images, a top supplier of visual content for license, has sued two of the leading companies offering generative AI tools. Getty claims the AI companies are infringing Getty's copyrights by training on their collections without permission or compensation. If a court determines that the AI companies infringed, it could be trouble for generative AI. Will intellectual property laws spell doom for the burgeoning generative AI business? We explore the brewing battle over copyright and AI in this video. (Narrated and produced by Kirby Ferguson; Senior Producer: Andrew Satter; Executive Producer: Josh Block)
