AI language and image-generating models are now a reality, giving anyone the ability to create prose, programmes, and pictures in a matter of moments with the simple instruction of some text. Although this concept is quite handy for the production of dull reports and contracts, there are serious worries about the correctness of the information that ChatGPT delivers. In addition, there are numerous court cases from performers, engineers, and innovators going against developers of AI language and artwork models due to copyright infringement and libel. Before we delve into the legal issues here, let’s first comprehend what AI language and art models are. For this reason, let us refer to the well-known ChatGPT, though this applies to many other bots such as the Meta’s Llama and Google’s Bard.
ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) was created by Open AI and launched back in November 2022. It is thought of as the best advancement since the launch of the Apple iPhone in 2007. By providing a great deal of inputs, ranging from books, articles, websites and blog posts, ChatGPT exhibits human-like responses to many questions.
Preston Gralla demonstrates us how AI language and text to image models works in a recent article by comparing it with the notorious monster plant Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, constantly exclaiming “Feed me!”. Open AI and other developers of AI text and image-generating models have not asked for permission to use specific words and art from third-party sites, leading to a lot of class actions and possible lawsuits all over the world.
The legal claim against ChatGPT and other AI language and image-generating models falls into several categories including copyright breach and GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 infringement. Organizations must be aware of the dangers of using ChatGPT to produce text and images. As the mayor of Hepburn Shire found in a lawsuit against ChatGPT, there can be huge legal consequences if the Chatbot is responsible for mistakes or distorted results.
The best way to avoid potential problems is to carry out a danger evaluation before using ChatGPT for a certain project and make sure the reliability of the material it creates.
