for those in the AI session at @LILAC_conf the law on the protection of AI generated works is not so clear in the UK as computer generated works DO qualify for copyright protection under Section 178 of the CDPA #LILAC24

⚖️ Generative AI vs. Copyright Law - a timeline. If you are a privacy professional, you can't ignore AI-related copyright lawsuits anymore. Read this:

In order to develop and train large language models (LLMs), AI companies rely on web scraping, a practice that will "digest" all internet data. In the context of generative AI, this practice has various legal implications, and some of the most relevant are privacy and copyright-related.

I've been discussing the privacy issues behind scraping extensively in my newsletter and in recent social posts; you can check them out. They involve lawfulness of processing, data subject rights, data protection principles, and more.

What may be unexpected is that copyright issues are ALSO relevant from a privacy perspective. Why? If scraping is banned or restricted due to copyright issues, there will also be privacy implications, as AI companies will have to find other sources of data to train their models, there will potentially be personal data involved, and possibly new data protection implications.

In the infographic below, you can see a brief timeline of recent AI-related copyright cases. This list will probably grow in 2024.

So privacy professional: the next time you see discussions on whether generative AI serves a new transformative purpose and whether this is "fair use," stay tuned - as there might also be indirect consequences for privacy, data protection, and data practices behind AI.

I will write more about the topic in next week's edition of the newsletter. To receive it in your email, subscribe
