Copyright is central to the ethical and legal use of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI), particularly in academic and creative environments. As Gen AI tools generate outputs based on training data that may include copyrighted works, users must consider both the origin of the data and the ownership of the resulting content. AI-generated outputs often lack a clear human author, which complicates questions of copyright protection and ownership. The "Generative AI and Copyright" section of the Copyright Guide highlights the critical importance of understanding the legal and ethical implications of AI-generated content. It advises users to engage in thoughtful evaluation and accurate citation of such material to ensure compliance with copyright legislation and uphold academic integrity.
