Legal and Ethical Perspectives on Generative AI
Exploring the implications of AI-generated content from the legal and ethical aspects
The year 2023 is the rise of Artificial Intelligence, specifically Generative AI. The technology itself isn’t new; numerous tech companies have developed and launched desktop/web/mobile apps with some “generative” components — Maybe you recall having fun with the SimSimi chatbot or have been using the Snapseed background remover feature?
It is the launch of GPT-4 in March 2023 that triggered the rise and public (non-tech) interest in the technology. The ChatGPT user interface provides easy accessibility for usage and the GPT-4 high-quality content-generation capability took the world by storm as people started seeing the utilization potential of this technology.
This Generative AI democratization — the rapid adoption and usage from the populace — comes with some risks and implications, including legally and ethically. Legal/regulation-wise, this is still uncharted territory, but it is still a good idea to be aware of the potential implications of the technology.
