A top lawyer for the chipmaker said it’s going to be hard to determine the human and machine contributions to creations generated by AI models.
As the world’s most significant chipmaker faces a lawsuit over allegedly training its AI model on copyrighted work, Nvidia’s deputy general counsel said at the chipmaker’s AI tech conference he doesn’t see intellectual property law being extended to generative AI model creations.
At a conference session focused on the technology’s ethical challenges today (Mar. 18), Nvidia’s Iain Cunningham noted that the U.S. Copyright Office has already determined content generated by AI models can’t be copyrighted.
“Intellectual property law exists to protect human intellectual effort,” Cunningham said in the session. “That is how it has always been formulated. I think that that’s probably not going to change, in my view, and the impact of that is going to be that it’s going to be harder to figure out what is the human intellectual contribution to a particular creation, and what is the machine contribution.”
