The stratospheric rise of generative AI tools has sparked much discussion over what it might mean for the future of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/chatgpt-is-the-push-higher-education-needs-to-rethink-assessment-200314\">education<\/a>, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/ai-could-take-your-job-but-it-can-also-help-you-score-a-new-one-with-these-simple-tips-199883\">job market<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/has-gpt-4-really-passed-the-startling-threshold-of-human-level-artificial-intelligence-well-it-depends-202856\">humanity<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/i-used-to-work-at-google-and-now-im-an-ai-researcher-heres-why-slowing-down-ai-development-is-wise-202944\">society as a whole<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By now, you\u2019ve likely interacted with a generative AI. But who owns copyright to the output, and how does copyright law apply?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Text output and the law<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>ChatGPT is powered by an LLM \u2013 a machine-learning algorithm which processes vast datasets, including text, websites, news articles and books. Through the use of billions of parameters, ChatGPT\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-does-chatgpt-work\/\">statistically analyses complex language structures and patterns<\/a>\u00a0to produce the output.<\/p>\n<p>Some people might think OpenAI \u2013 the company responsible for ChatGPT \u2013 would have an authorship right in any output (the generated text), but this is not so.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/terms-of-use\">OpenAI\u2019s terms<\/a>\u00a0assign the right, title and interest in output to a user. Anyone who uses such AI tools needs to know the copyright implications of generating output.<\/p>\n<p>Putting aside ethical and moral issues regarding\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2023\/jan\/10\/universities-to-return-to-pen-and-paper-exams-after-students-caught-using-ai-to-write-essays\">academic integrity<\/a>, there are many copyright implications surrounding LLMs.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when you use ChatGPT to produce output, under Australian law, would you own the copyright of that output? Can AI such as ChatGPT be considered a legal joint author of any LLM output? Do LLMs infringe others\u2019 copyright through the use of data used to train these models?<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do you own your ChatGPT output?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Under Australian law, because the output is computer-generated code\/text, it may be classified as a literary work for copyright purposes.<\/p>\n<p>However, for you to own copyright in ChatGPT output as a literary work, requirements known as \u201csubsistence criteria\u201d must also be satisfied. When considering AI processes in light of the subsistence criteria, the analysis becomes challenging.<\/p>\n<p>The most contentious subsistence criteria in the context of LLMs are those of authorship and originality. Seminal Australian cases dictate a literary work must originate through an author\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mondaq.com\/australia\/intellectual-property\/290668\/can-a-database-be-protected-by-copyright\">independent intellectual effort<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>To determine potential copyright in ChatGPT output, a court would examine the underlying processes of creation in detail. Hypothetically, when considering how LLMs learn, although people prompt AI, a court would likely deem this prompting to be a separate, precursory act to the actual creation of the output. The court would likely find the output is produced by the AI. This would not meet the criteria for authorship, because the output was authored by an AI instead of a human.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_67982\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67982\" class=\"size-full wp-image-67982\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AICopyright.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"791\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AICopyright.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/AICopyright-215x250.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-67982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ChatGPT 3.5 claims that a machine-generated work is not subject to copyright protection<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Also, the output is unlikely to adequately express a person\u2019s \u201cindependent intellectual effort\u201d (another subsistence criterion) because AI produces it. Such a finding would be similar to the ruling in a seminal case about a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.claytonutz.com\/knowledge\/2010\/december\/computer-generated-compilations-not-protected-by-copyright-says-full-federal-court\">computer-generated compilation<\/a>. There, a valuable Telstra database was not protected by copyright due to lack of establishment of human authorship and originality.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, it\u2019s likely copyright would not come into effect on ChatGPT output as a literary work produced in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, under UK law, the result could be different. This is because UK law makes provision for a person\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1988\/48\/section\/9\">who makes the arrangements for a computer-generated literary work<\/a>\u00a0to be considered an author for copyright purposes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Can you be a joint author with ChatGPT?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In recent years, human authorship has been challenged in court a few times overseas, including the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wipo.int\/wipo_magazine\/en\/2018\/01\/article_0007.html\">famous monkey selfie case in the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, a work must originate with a human author, so AI doesn\u2019t qualify for authorship. However, if AI were ever to achieve something akin\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/a-google-software-engineer-believes-an-ai-has-become-sentient-if-hes-right-how-would-we-know-185024\">to its own version of sentience<\/a>, AI personhood debates will unleash many issues, including whether AI should be considered an author for copyright purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming one day AI can be considered an author, if a court was assessing joint authorship between a person and AI, each author\u2019s contribution would be examined in detail. A \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www5.austlii.edu.au\/au\/legis\/cth\/consol_act\/ca1968133\/s10.html\">work of joint authorship<\/a>\u201d states that each author\u2019s contribution must not be separate from the other. It\u2019s likely that a person\u2019s prompting of the AI would be deemed separate to what the AI system then does, so joint authorship would probably fail.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do LLMs infringe on copyright?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A final issue is whether LLMs infringe others\u2019 copyright through accessing data in training. Such data may be copyright-protected material. This requires an examination of the LLM training and output. Is a substantial portion of copyright-protected material reproduced? Or, is mass data synthesised without substantial reproduction?<\/p>\n<p>If it is the earlier option, infringement may have occurred; if it\u2019s the latter, there would be no infringement under current law. But even if output reproduces a portion of copyright-protected material, this might fall under a copyright exception. In Australia, this is called fair dealing.<\/p>\n<p>Fair dealing permits particular purposes, such as research and study. In the US, similar fair use exceptions are broader in scope, so LLM output may be caught by this. Also, the European Union has a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/grurint\/article\/71\/8\/685\/6650009\">copyright exception for text and data mining<\/a>\u00a0which permits the use of data to train LLMs unless expressly prohibited by a rights-holder.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing as AI is here to stay, a final point to ponder is whether amendments should be made to the Australian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.au\/Details\/C2022C00192\">Copyright Act<\/a>\u00a0to allow an AI user to be considered an author for copyright purposes. Should we amend the law by following in the United Kingdom\u2019s footsteps, or implement a text and data mining exception similar to that in the EU?<\/p>\n<p>As AI initiatives continue advancing, Australian copyright law will likely grapple with these issues in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Wellett Potter is a Lecturer in Law at the University of New England<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChatGPT\u00a0and other generative AI tools which draw on large language models (LLMs) are a hot topic.
