The IPA has been monitoring the impacts of AI on copyright policy since 2019 and has organized several webinars since 2020. Recordings of these webinars are available to IPA members upon request. Please email the Secretariat.
IPA position on Generative AI and Copyright Policy
IPA's Copyright Committee has endorsed a position on generative AI & copyright, which had been developed by the IPA's Copyright Policy Working Group. The position reaffirms that the existing legal framework is clear. Collecting, handling, storing, and copying works of authorship to train AI models implicates the exclusive rights of authors, which cannot be ignored. Generative AI companies must license works that they do not own -and seek to use for their gain,- in the manner directed by the rightsholder.
