(Un)fair Use? Copyrighted Works As AI Training Data — AI: The Washington Report

Welcome to this week's issue of AI: The Washington Report, a joint undertaking of Mintz and its government affairs affiliate, ML Strategies.

This week, we discuss the continued contentious matter of the use of copyrighted works as training data for AI models, the potential issues this practices raises, and parallel efforts currently underway to resolve these dilemmas. Not only is the status of such use an unresolved question in most of the world, it is also an open issue how and by whom this question will be resolved. Possibilities include regulation in parts of the world dictated by a uniform outcome, legislation, litigation, or a commercial agreement among interested parties.
