Who does AI output belong to? With IP & Media Law Attorney Franklin Graves
Manage episode 371057690 series 3443135
In this episode, I was joined by IP, tech, and media law expert, Franklin Graves. We talked focused on two super-interesting and relevant topics:
1. A recent lawsuit filed against Meta (including Instagram, Facebook), Snap Inc., ByteDance and TikTok, and Alphabet Inc./Google/YouTube, about the mental health impacts of social media on youth. Franklin wrote a blog post about this on his blog, Creator Economy Law.
You can track the lawsuit here.
2. Everyone is talking about AI. Everyone is *using* AI, so the big question is: who does all this AI-generated output belong to? Can you copyright it? Is it infringing someone else's copyright if you use it? We deep-dived into these very relevant questions.
