Copyright Issues in Generative AI for Software:
Doe v. Github, Inc. et al.
Github is a case that may have far-reaching implications for AI-generated works in the future.
Abstract:
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) allows users to generate content based on providing prompts to the generative AI. There are generative AI programs now capable of generating different types of content, including software code. The ongoing Doe v. Github Inc. et al. litigation addresses copyright-related issues inherent in the Copilot generative AI that allows users to enter prompts to generate software code. This case addresses many of the issues involved in the training and use of generative AI for generating software code.
