Article: What generative AI means for copyright

Rachel Alexander's opening text to this article gets at our fears:

Creatives are worried about being thrown out of a job by generative AI, while artificial intelligence developers leave themselves open to copyright infringement claims by training their AI on unlicensed material.

Her article is written from a UK perspective but does touch on approaches being used in the U.S. and EU. And if you're wondering why you should read it, this should capture your attention:

Generative AI presents a new scenario on which to apply questions that copyright has been grappling with for centuries such as: Who can be an author? What is original? What constitutes ‘fair dealing’ with a protected work? 
Information Age, which published this article, has a number of stories on generative AI.  If that is a topic you are following, you may want to follow Information Age.
