AI development

This guide navigates the complex intersection of AI development and copyright law, addressing legal and ethical challenges for developers training AI models with copyrighted content. This article explores how copying protected materials (e.g., books, music, databases) for AI training can infringe copyrights unless exceptions like fair use or permissions apply. This article also outlines international frameworks and national laws, including the UK’s proposed text and data mining exception, the US’s fair use doctrine, and India’s narrow fair dealing under the Copyright Act, 1957.
