    The legal issues presented by generative AI

    MIT Sloan, 08/28/23. Generative artificial intelligence, such as large language models and image-generation software, brings powerful new capabilities to individuals and businesses. However, it also introduces complex legal questions regarding data usage and the application of laws to AI-generated output. Lawsuits surrounding generative AI often revolve around issues of data use and privacy. Copyright and patent laws, the main legal systems regulating AI-generated work, are not fully equipped to handle the challenges posed by AI. To mitigate legal risks, companies must consider alternative sources of training data, conduct thorough due diligence, and properly train employees. Ultimately, the legal landscape surrounding generative AI is still evolving and requires careful attention from all stakeholders. READ THE ARTICLE
