ChatGPT developer OpenAI has acknowledged that the development of AI tools like ChatGPT would be "impossible" without using copyrighted material. OpenAI made this statement in response to an inquiry by the UK's House of Lords about the use of copyrighted content in AI training. The practice of scraping copyrighted content for training AI models has come under scrutiny, particularly with the recent commercialization of deep learning AI models. OpenAI asserts that limitations to public domain content would not meet the needs of today's citizens, and claims fair use in their defense against copyright lawsuits.

OpenAI has filed a response to copyright infringement allegations in court, stating that it makes fair use of copyrighted content to train its AI language model.

This comes in response to lawsuits filed by authors, including Michael Chabon and Ta-Nehisi Coates, against OpenAI and Meta Platforms last year. The lawsuits raise questions about whether using scraped material from the internet to train AI infringes copyrighted material on a large scale.

Midjourney, an AI startup specializing in image generation, recently made changes to its terms of service related to intellectual property disputes. The amendments reflect the company's belief that AI vendors will prevail in legal battles with creators whose works are used for training data. However, critics argue that not all artists agree with the fair use defense, as AI models often regurgitate copyrighted content. Midjourney, which has used copyrighted works without proactive licensing agreements, could face serious legal consequences if fair use is not upheld in court. Other recent AI news includes AI-assisted ad disputes, EU scrutiny of tech companies ahead of elections, and Google DeepMind's efforts to create AI gaming partners.
