As generative AI takes great strides forward in the
business activities of more and more companies and organisations,
there are several legal aspects to be aware of. In anticipation of
the upcoming AI regulation, Lindahl's experts Alexander Tham
and Mikael Olsson list five key legal areas to take into
consideration when generative AI is used.
AI AND COPYRIGHT
Even though we are still waiting for the legislator or the
courts to finally determine the situation, there is nevertheless
broad consensus among lawyers that what is produced by AI tools
cannot be protected by copyright, which is reserved for works
produced by humans.
Risk: If the output from the AI tool cannot be
protected and made subject to an exclusive right, there is a risk
that the economic value of what is produced will be limited,
perhaps to the extent that the investment in input and tools does
not correspond to what is extracted.
