The ChatGPT AI chatbot produces content that can appear to be created by a human. There are many proposed uses for this specific technology, but its extraordinary capabilities raise important questions about content ownership rights. Two main questions arise when it comes to copyright and AI-generated content:

The first: should the service be allowed to use original content generated by third parties to generate its own results?

The second: can only humans be credited as authors of AI-generated content or can the AI ​​itself be considered an author?

Within the article to which we refer, there are answers to the two questions posed, justified by explanations based on the legislation present today in the United Kingdom.
