Copyright Office Examines AI and Fair Use Amid Leadership Changes Key Insights from the U.S. Copyright Office's Latest Report In a recent report, the U.S. Copyright Office covers the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on copyright law, focusing on how AI models are trained using copyrighted works and the fair use considerations that arise. This follows major leadership changes within the agency, including the firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter. The report identifies multiple actions during AI training that could infringe on copyright, such as the use of large datasets and the generation of derivative works. It emphasizes that while training AI with diverse datasets can often be deemed transformative, the potential for infringement remains, especially in AI outputs that mimic or closely resemble original works. Additionally, the Copyright Office explores how the fair use doctrine applies in this context, particularly how AI models' stylistic imitation could negatively affect the market value of original works. The report underscores the need for a case-by-case analysis, inviting mixed reactions from copyright advocates.
