There’s a big difference between copyright for material produced by a model, and copyright on the software and weights for the model.
As far as I know, USPTO has said that works crested primarily by AI may not receive copyright protection, but I don’t think there’s any indication that the software to run AI is not copyrightable. Maybe?
- sam0x17 4y agoWe clearly need to run the weights _through_ a GPT model because that seems to strip copyright from them :D
- politician 4y agoYou can use the summarize, generate technique to strip copyright from source code too.
- Zuiii 4y agoThe code to train and run the model perhaps, but model weights lack two fundamental requirements available in normal code: human authorship and creativity. Because these models were the result of a purely mechanical process and thus lack these properties, they can't be eligible for copyright protection. At least not under current US law. That said, regulatory capture is strong in the US. It would not surprise me if we see these laws changed.
