AIPLA comments on IP protection for AI innovation

AI training and copyright

Can AI be trained on protected works?

Allowed with limits

Training on copyrighted works may be fair use, depending on the materials and the use

What it says

AIPLA said each AI input scenario must be analysed in context, that using copyrighted material for training may be fair use depending on the nature of the materials and how they are used, and that the statute does not clearly resolve these fair use questions. (Comment letter.)

An early, cautious US practitioner view: no blanket answer on training.
