Navigating the Legal and Ethical Challenges of Generative AI.

The rise of generative AI has raised questions about ownership and authorship. The generative ability of AI is the result of training them with scores of prior artworks, from which the AI learns how to create artistic outputs. The use of art to train AI has been considered exploitative by many working artists. Copyright laws were created to promote the arts and creative thinking, but the rise of generative AI has complicated existing notions of authorship. The ways in which existing laws are interpreted or reformed will have real consequences for the future of creative expression.
