Legal and Ethical Considerations in AI-generated Content

AI-generated content raises complex legal and ethical concerns around plagiarism, copyright infringement, and misappropriation of hot news. Experts suggest that while reporting facts cannot be copyrighted, duplicating and summarizing existing content raises legal risks. Companies like Perplexity may face challenges related to unfair advertising, deceptive trade practices, and misappropriation of hot news. There are debates on whether AI-generated material is protected under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, with risks arising from inaccurate summaries and failure to credit original sources.
