Description
Generative AI applications such as ChatGPT, DALL·E and Stable Diffusion are presenting new scenarios that can be confounding to copyright lawyers as well as judges and policymakers. Professor David Tan discusses whether existing copyright doctrines can adequately address these issues and to what extent the Singapore Copyright Act 2021 is equipped to deal with these challenges. The seminar covers: (i) copyright infringement in both the input of works to train generative AI and the AI output in response to human prompts and commands; (ii) how the computational data analysis exception and open-ended fair use provision are likely to apply to these scenarios.
