The Legality of AI
Generative AI models develop fast. In fact, their evolution and adoption into everyday technology has been alarmingly fast, which hasn’t allowed for regulatory bodies to catch up.
Now that it’s been a few years, though, the legal ramifications are catching up. Australia is currently voting on reforms to the Children’s Online Privacy Code, which would include more stipulations to protect against AI usage, but that isn’t the only case.
In fact, US record labels like Sony, Universal, and Warner are all suing AI music generators for copyright infringement, because their models are trained on music that belongs to them.
All that to say, the wild west days of AI can only last so long before people start seeing how these models actually operate. That is, of course, if it doesn’t soak up all the electricity first.
