The Role of Copyright Law in Regulating AI

This chapter explores how copyright law is used to address various AI-related issues such as privacy, labor, and public policy. The limitations of copyright law in solving these problems are highlighted through examples like IBM using AI to enhance facial recognition software using Creative Commons photos, which raised concerns about privacy violations. The chapter also discusses the potential impact of copyright suits on the AI industry, questioning whether smaller companies would survive such lawsuits and ultimately leading to domination by big AI companies.
