Copyright
A legal right that protects original creative works, giving the creator exclusive rights to use and distribute their work.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Copyright is a legal framework granting exclusive rights to creators of original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, including software code and potentially AI-generated content, governing reproduction, distribution, and adaptation, with complex implications for AI training data and outputs.
BACKGROUND
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
