S6: How Publishers Are Dealing with the Rise of AI in Writing
EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON CREATIVE WRITING
The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in content creation raises fundamental questions about the legal and ethical responsibility of authors and publishers.
When a human publishes content, they assume legal responsibility for the generated work, including consequences for plagiarism or copyright infringement. However, when involving an AI, such as ChatGPT, in the creative process, new legal challenges arise.
ChatGPT, as a Large Language Model (LLM), has been trained on large volumes of data, allowing it to generate convincing content based on statistical patterns.
However, ChatGPT is not a human entity and, to date, cannot be legally held responsible as a co-author. The model generates texts based on probabilistic calculations, without consciousness or creative intentions.
This puts human authors in a delicate position: if they do not adequately cite the AI’s contribution, the content may be interpreted as plagiarism, resulting in potential legal consequences for the human author.
