Initial comments are due by October 18, 2023. Reply comments are due November 15, 2023. https://t.co/fNiHB1W7SI pic.twitter.com/3vNBRNxGJj— US Copyright Office (@CopyrightOffice) August 30, 2023


According to the filing, the Copyright Office is seeking “factual information and views” on copyright issues raised by recent advances in generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.


In a press release sent via email from the Library of Congress and viewed by Cointelegraph, the U.S. Copyright Office states:“These issues include the use of copyrighted works to train AI models, the appropriate levels of transparency and disclosure with respect to the use of copyrighted works, the legal status of AI-generated outputs, and the appropriate treatment of AI-generated outputs that mimic personal attributes of human artists.”


Those interested in commenting during the official inquiry period will have until Oct. 18 to do so.


The request comes during a tumultuous time for the AI industry with regard to regulation in the U.S. and around the world. While the European Union and other territories have enacted policies to protect citizen privacy and limit how corporations can use, share and sell data, there’s been little in the way of regulation concerning the use of copyrighted material to train or prompt AI systems.

As Cointelegraph previously reported, the media industry is grappling with how to manage the emergence of AI systems capable of imitating the work of creators and artists. The New York Times and other news agencies have taken steps to block web crawlers from AI companies seeking to train models on their data.


Artists such as comedian Sarah Silverman and authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey have sued OpenAI for allegedly training AI models on copyrighted work without the consent of the owners or creators.


Beyond copyright issues, there are also concerns related to AI involving misalignment (the idea that machines could have objectives that clash with the well-being of humanity) and the mass proliferation of misinformation.


The U.S. government has held a series of meetings with stakeholders in the AI community, with a closed-door meeting between Senator Chuck Schumer and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella slated for Sept. 13.# Government# US Government# United States# AI# Copyrights# Regulation# OpenAIAdd reactionAdd reactionRead moreWhat are NFT royalties, and how do they work?5 real-world Python applications MiCA: The good, the bad and the ugly of the EU’s crypto rules
