Anastasiia Artemova · Respublica Literaria · 2014
The introduction of artificial intelligence opens up great opportunities, but at the same time poses new challenges for legislators and courts. One of these challenges is to find a balance between the interests of copyright holders of works used in machine learning and society interested in the development of artificial intelligence technology. In the article, the author analyzes the state of current copyright legislation and law enforcement practice. The subject of the study is a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by a group of writers (Paul Tremblay et al.) against the artificial intelligence developer OpenAI, which is being processed by the US District Court (Northern District of California): the author evaluates the use of works in machine learning for compliance with the conditions for applying the fair use doctrine. The author comes to the conclusion about the need to supplement cases of free use of works through use in machine learning systems.
