Can AI-generated content infringe on another creator’s copyright?

This is a rapidly evolving technology with broad implications on society, culture, and academia. There are pending legal decisions that will provide clarity in the coming months and years. For examples, see the July 14, 2023, article by Andrew Albanese in Publisher’s Weekly, “Authors Join the Brewing Legal Battle over AI,” or the recorded presentation by Pamela Samuelson, Professor of Law, UC Berkeley, “Generative AI Meets Copyright.”
