As a stalwart in the tech industry, Microsoft has embarked on a strategy to tackle copyright-infringement risks to foster the adoption of its generative AI tool. The company pledged last Thursday to guard its commercial customers against infringement lawsuits. In addition, the tech giant has assured its clientele that it will shoulder any ensuing costs related to settlements or judgments.
This decisive move comes against the backdrop of increasing discontent voiced by creative thinkers across the board. From artists and authors to publishers, many claim their creative works are being utilized to train AI language models without their explicit knowledge or permission.
In the evolving landscape of patent law for generative AI, Microsoft’s stand aims to alleviate any uncertainties its customers might harbor. The goal is to ensure that potential concerns around law infringements do not become deterrents to the use of its Copilot tool.
