ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE CONTEXT OF COPYRIGHT

Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly entering our lives. Chatbots like ChatGPT are already mass-producing newsletters, writing essays, summaries, criticism and even works of art, solving various tasks and creating all kinds of verification tests, skilfully imitating styles and forms. Image generators like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, and more can create outstanding visuals in a variety of styles: from aged photos, graphics, watercolours, and paintings to street graffiti look-alikes. The resulting products
are in most cases remarkable not only for their quality, but also for the speed of their creation. And while these practices are becoming more common in the creative industries, the volumes of text, images and music generated by artificial intelligence, as well as the process used to create them, raises many complex ethical and legal questions. Some of them are largely related to today’s understanding of authorship as a legal doctrine and its protection by current laws, as well as the permitted possibility of using parts of one work or the whole of it for the purpose of creating another work, without prejudice to the legal copyright of the original author. In this article, we will provide some clarification on how copyright norms relate to generative artificial intelligence and reflect on the ethical dilemmas associated with this, which clearly pose a huge challenge to our understanding of property and justice, and also to the very nature of creativity.

Keywords: Generative AI, Copyright in AI, chatbot, ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney
