Copyright Ownership Of Generative AI Outputs Varies Around The World

Generative artificial intelligence tools produce a vast range of new content, including code, text, audio, images and video. For the business user, the speed of output in response to a user prompt can deliver game-changing business efficiencies. However, the appeal of generative AI content needs to be balanced against the implications of using that content within a business. There are several dimensions to this, and one important question – with interesting potential outcomes – is the extent to which the user can own the output. Superficially, this might seem to depend on the terms of service of the particular generative AI platform and the allocation of rights set out in its governing terms. While this is indeed a part of the story, the user also needs to consider whether that output is even capable of being owned, by anyone, under applicable law. Below, we explore the answer to that question around the world, based on law and guidance as of the date of this post.

A choice each firm must make? (Can they do both?)

The Justice Gap in Legal Tech: A Tale of Two Conferences and the Implications for A2J

… We talk often of the justice gap in this country — of the fact that the roughly 50 million low-income Americans receive no or insufficient legal help for 92% of their civil legal problems. The justice gap extends well beyond low-income Americans. Estimates say some 60 percent of small business owners deal with legal problems without the assistance of a lawyer, and countless middle-income Americans go without legal help.

But there is another, related, kind of justice gap in this country. It is the funding gap between those who are developing legal technology to better meet the legal needs of low-income Americans and those who are developing legal tech to serve large law firms and corporate legal departments.

At Legalweek, the focus of the conference is almost exclusively on tech for large law firms and corporate legal departments. The sponsors and exhibitors are focused on products for e-discovery, contract lifecycle management, large firm financial and business management, and the like. The programs, similarly, focus on data privacy, e-discovery, information governance, contract technology, and large-scale litigation.

… By contrast, at the ITC conference, the attendees come mostly from the ranks of legal aid offices, pro-bono programs, court self-help staff, and the like. The programs focus on how understaffed legal aid offices and understaffed courts and understaffed community programs can use technology to help meet the influx of low-income people seeking legal help.
