  The rapidity with which generative AI has been adopted and advanced has
raised legal and ethical questions related to the impact on artists rights,
content production, data collection, privacy, accuracy of information, and
intellectual property rights. Recent administrative and case law challenges
have shown that generative AI software systems do not have independent
intellectual property rights in the content that they generate. It remains to
be seen whether human content creators can retain their intellectual property
rights against generative AI software, its developers, operators, and owners
for the misappropriation of the work of human creatives, given the metes and
bounds of existing law. Early signs from various courts are mixed as to whether
and to what degree the results generated by AI models meet the legal standards
of infringement under existing law.
