According to Cointelegraph, on August 30, 2023, the United States Copyright Office issued a legal lawsuit for comments and notice of inquiry on copyright and artificial intelligence (AI) in the Federal Register.
With insights from the filing, the Copyright Office is expected to look for “factual information and views” on copyright issues. It is believed that this has been raised by the recent upgrade that is expected to take place in generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, among others.
“These issues include the use of copyrighted works to train AI models, the appropriate levels of transparency and disclosure with respect to the use of copyrighted works, the legal status of AI-generated outputs, and the appropriate treatment of AI-generated outputs that mimic personal attributes of human artists,” the U.S. Copyright Office explained.
Furthermore, it is believed that those willing to participate in the commenting during the official inquiry period will have until October 18, 2023, to do so, Cointelegraph concluded.
