One of the first things we noticed during our testing of ChatGPT was how often the sources and citations used by the AI chatbot were not disclosed unless prompted.
This is a bigger problem within the AI industry and something that both publishing companies and creative professionals are irked about. Most of us would agree that accurate information is important and necessary to give credit to those who created it.
The European Union is currently drafting the first comprehensive piece of legislation Regulation governing the deployment of artificial intelligence (Opens in a new tab). And one of the latest rules written in the document is that makers of AI tools will be required to disclose any copyrighted material they used to create them.
according to the draft text he sees Wall Street Journal (Opens in a new tab)Developers of generative AI models will need to publish a “sufficiently detailed summary” of the copyright material they used as part of their creation.
ChatGPT, Google Bard, and other large paradigms crawl massive amounts of data (either on the web or through rich datasets) to provide their answers. As the capabilities of these AI tools, for example, include image generation, the amount of content data being scraped also increases. When that extends to things like song lyrics or computer code, many people feel it borders on copyright infringement.

In fact, last November, OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT) was hit with a class action lawsuit from two anonymous plaintiffs alleging that it had improperly sourced open source code from GitHub to train the system.
It is not yet clear what effect the regulations will have on the development of AI, nor how it will be implemented, but European lawmakers hope it will serve as a blueprint for AI policy in other parts of the world. The European Union states that its AI policy will lead to “new global standards for making sure AI can be trusted” in the same way that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law has become the standard for privacy rules.
The bill itself has not been finalized as various EU member states have to agree to pass it. However, they aim to confirm and approve the final version later this year.
