Within the past six months, there have been multiple lawsuits accusing GitHub CoPilot, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, and Midjourney of copyright infringement or other problems. It's just a matter of time before other ML-based services are sued as well. So what does someone building or using an ML model need to know about the current state of the law? Right now this is a fast-moving area of the law. There are no black-and-white answers. But this session will dive into the technical details of how models are trained, what models contain, and how they perform inference and generation to help people understand the issues and risks. As part of this session, we will address: - What is the legal basis for creating, training, and distributing models? - Who-if anyone-is the author of generated content? - What is in a model that is IP? Does it preserve "expression" in a meaningful sense? - Can we license models the same way we do software?
