🤖 Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving rapidly, and CC is closely monitoring developments to address the complex issues that arise with these innovative tools.
🔍 Our focus is on the intersection of copyright law and generative AI. We're committed to promoting #BetterSharing and supporting innovation, while respecting human creators and fostering a better internet for all.
📝 Our AI blog series ([link removed]) , featuring team members and guest contributors, explores AI-related concerns, from training data inputs to the implications of AI-generated outputs.
📚 Dive into the series ([link removed]) to examine key questions, such as whether copyright should protect artistic style and if generative AI tools should be held responsible for potential user-created infringements.
