GAI tools generate content, such as text, images, and videos, through learning patterns from data inputs and prompts, offering incredible efficiencies to consumers and businesses. As GAI tools are being used more and more across different industries, questions are increasingly arising about how GAI tools’ use of copyrighted works intersects with today’s intellectual property laws, prompting some to call for copyright policy changes by Congress or the U.S. Copyright Office.

In this briefing, we will take a step back and discuss how current copyright law addresses the use of GAI platforms, providing detailed insights on what you need to know about the intersection between GAI and copyright law, how businesses should approach the use of GAI tools in today’s legal environment, and whether new guidance or policy changes are needed from the U.S. Copyright Office and Congress.
