    Would the copyright go to the person who typed the instructions into the AI, or to whomever created the AI?

      Not sure about copyright but the money earned off of the content should go to the person whose art was used as a reference by the AI model to generate “new” content

    if you pay for access of the AI, you should own it like a company does.

    AI models are trained by human input data. That means all copyright should be reserved to images used to train the model and generated one, which will be impossible to trace. So no, AI work should have no copyright.

    I would have to agree with the US courts on this one. The way I understand AI. It could be a conglomeration of different people providing input. If that’s the case who would get the copyright. The conglomeration, the person who used the conglomeration i.e., AI.

Apple filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI last Friday, and it’s not messing around. The complaint alleges a pattern of misconduct reaching all the way up to OpenAI’s chief hardware officer and claims more than 400 former Apple employees now work at the company. OpenAI’s response so far has been carefully hedged, and the timing couldn’t be worse with the company reportedly eyeing an IPO as early as later this year.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into what the lawsuit could mean for OpenAI’s own hardware ambitions and IPO timeline, plus a bigger theme running through the week’s news: how much should anyone trust AI companies with their data?
