📌Episode Highlights
⏲️[00:00] Intro
⏲️[01:24] The TL;DR Perspective
⏲️[10:34] Q1 - The Deepdive: AI Decrypted | You look at the inputs and outputs of AI. For the inputs, the key question is: does mining data infringe copyright? For the outputs, the main question is: can derivative works infringe copyright and what role do exceptions play?
⏲️[20:28] Q2 - The Deepdive: AI Decrypted | In your blog entitled “Will we ever be able to detect AI usage”, you wonder if that is really the right question to ask and suggest alternatives. What are your key thoughts?
⏲️[23:53] Outro

🗣️ To think of copyright like any granular, tiny speck of information that went into the training of an input means that you own that [AI] output. That's ridiculous to me. That means there are billions of authors for every single ChatGPT or entry.

🗣️ What [AI providers are] doing is a temporary copy or transient copy. (...) They don't need them after the model is trained. (...) What's happening is they make a copy and then extract information.

🗣️ Some of these actions [by AI providers] could fall under existing exceptions and limitations. (...) They make a copy (...) that allows the generativity to work.

🗣️ AI is actually making it easier for small-time creators to create quality content. (...) What we're starting to see: it’s enabling more creators to do stuff.
