If they decide it isn&#8217;t &#8211; then development will undoubtedly become more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>At the very least, vendors would have to request permission or pay publishers to use their copyrighted works. We&#8217;re already seeing an effort to move to these types of arrangements, with OpenAI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2024-01-04\/openai-says-it-s-in-talks-with-dozens-of-publishers-about-licensing-content\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly<\/a> undergoing negotiations with dozens of publishers.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"could_regulation_kill_generative_ai\">Could Regulation Kill Generative AI?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Given the widespread interest and investment we have seen in generative AI over the past few years, it is unlikely that tighter copyright laws would damage the market overnight.<\/p>\n<p>It is more likely that AI vendors are forced to be more proactive about establishing mutually beneficial relationships with publishers and compensating them for access to past articles, books, and other copyrighted works.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, while file-sharing service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/napster-files-for-bankruptcy-246468\/\" target=\"_blank\">Napster<\/a> went bankrupt for copyright infringement after allowing users to download copyrighted works without compensation, <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/company-info\/\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> later emerged to build a thriving streaming service of over 100 million songs by establishing commercial relationships to ensure songwriters, publishers, artists, and other rights holders get fairly compensated.<\/p>\n<p>If such a licensing model is possible for the music industry, then in theory, it should be possible for AI vendors to form partnerships with publishers so they can get access to copyrighted material in exchange for financial compensation.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, the formation of such a commercial partnership rests on publishers not seeing LLMs as an existential threat to their business.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The era of copyright as an afterthought is coming to an end in the generative AI market. As it stands, we will see more and more lawsuits against LLM vendors until a clear legal precedent is established around the legality of training these solutions on copyrighted
