Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming a
major force in the world of technology, with its ability to create
new content and even replicate the styles of individual humans,
including as a tool used by inventors in the creation of
patent-eligible technology. As AI continues to advance, it is
raising a host of new legal issues—in particular,
intellectual property issues. From questions of ownership and
authorship to the use of protected IP in generative AI systems, the
legal landscape will need to evolve to keep pace with the rapid
development of generative AI.
What Is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can
create new content based on a set of input training data. This
content can take the form of images, text, and audio, and can even
be designed to mimic the style of a specific person or group. A
popular method by which generative AI operates is by training two
neural networks to work against each other, with
