outside the copyright office s definition of fair use as a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright protected works in certain circumstances in

fair and it s up to art fans to be informed website text from the copyright office acknowledges fair use is a thorny issue fair use is a judge created doctrine dating back to the nineteenth century

leading ai companies is unclear as google meta and openai are each already embroiled in lawsuits over alleged copyright infringement and misuse of user information and experts in the fields of art and technology are skeptical that they will achieve much the voluntary nature of these commitments renders them meaningless university of chicago professor ben zhao told hyperallergic noting that while the biden administration has good intentions they seem to be oblivious to the real risks at stake as a computer science educator zhao served as the faculty lead for the research project glaze a system designed to shield artists from ai style imitation the technology which is currently available for free to download uses stylized masks that apply barely noticeable alterations to artworks in order to misdirect generative models that try to steal an artist s personal aesthetic these are incredibly strong yet poorly defined goals that have been set forth and many of these commitments involve technical problems that lack solutions or may be completely insolvable zhao said pointing to the example of watermarking content there are no robust solutions for watermarking generative content either text or images known today he explained how hard will these ai companies work at voluntarily building these difficult systems what we need is real regulation with well defined transparent goals that are backed up with plans for testing enforcement and if necessary penalties the assumption that big tech will do the right thing despite the obvious financial disincentives is naive concept art
