AI training under the right circumstances can be very useful and fruitful- but it is worth putting in the effort and money to pay for the license. Courts are hammering down against AI companies on licensing issues. #ABAIPL

The law currently does not allow you to copyright AI generated works in any way, because copyright law requries an element of human work. However, its predicted that the courts will soon allow you to copyright the prompts used to generate particular works. #ABAIPL

There is currently mass litigation regarding AI models "stealing" content from existing data, and AI companies are increasingly interested in contracting for copyright rights to avoid litigation. Huge new Industry on the horizon: Negotiation of digital content rights with particular AI companies to allow them exclusive training rights. #ABAIPL

Great presentation today by Mark Roesler and Joey Roesler! Joey Roesler gave a fascinating talk about the evolving role of AI in posthumous estates and influencer spaces. Loved his example of the “Uncanny Valley” — the almost life-like, slightly creepy kids in The Polar Express. #ABAIPL
