EUIPO releases study on generative artificial intelligence and copyright.

The European Union's intellectual property office recently published a study on the relationship between generative artificial intelligence and copyright. 

This technology has rapidly spread throughout the world and within most professional (and non-professional) contexts, considerably affecting the ethical and economic environment in question. From a copyright perspective, moreover, there seem to be several knots to unravel, which is why this digression has the potential to shed important light on the subject.

Titled ‘The Development of Generative Artificial Intelligence from a Copyright Perspective’, the study presents itself as the result of extensive research and analysis, focusing on three interconnected areas: the use of copyright-protected works as training data for AI models, the generation of new content by these systems and the legal issues this raises, and the broader implications for creators, AI developers and the copyright ecosystem.
