Press Release: A computer scientist and a legal scholar shed light on the black
box of processing steps in AI training - for the first time on this scale.
The presentation of the interdisciplinary study “Copyright & Training of
Generative AI - Technological and Legal Foundations” took place today in the
European Parliament.
In spring, the Copyright Initiative commissioned Prof. Dr. Tim W. Dornis
(University of Hannover) in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Sebastian Stober
(University of Magdeburg) with a tandem expert opinion on the technological and
legal aspects of training generative AI models. Their interdisciplinary
research provides urgently needed new insights into the technically necessary
intermediate steps in the training of generative artificial intelligence. For
the first time on this scale, a computer scientist and a legal scholar are
jointly creating evidence regarding the processing steps in AI training. During
the event, many open questions about protected materials were answered in a
well-founded, reliable manner and in line with the current state of the art.
The work of Prof. Dornis and Prof. Stober focuses on the copyright assessment
of the processing of protected material in AI training:
“As a closer look at the technology of generative AI models reveals, the
training of such models is not a case of text and data mining. It is a case of
copyright infringement – no exception applies under German and European
copyright law,” says Prof. Dornis. Prof. Stober explains that “parts of the
training data can be memorized in whole or in part by current generative models
- LLMs and (latent) diffusion models - and can therefore be generated again
with suitable prompts by end users and thus reproduced.”
Axel Voss, MEP and host of today's event in the European Parliament, expressly
thanks the scientists Dornis and Stober and is pleased that
“the study not only proves that the training of Generative AI models is not
covered by text and data mining, but that it also provides further important
indications and suggestions for a better balance between the protection of
human creativity and the promotion of AI innovation.”
“This study is explosive because it proves that we are dealing with large-scale
theft of intellectual property. The ball is now in the politicians' court to
draw the necessary conclusions and finally put an end to this theft at the
expense of journalists and other authors,”
commented Hanna Möllers, legal advisor to the DJV and representative of the
European Federation of Journalists (EFJ).
Katharina Uppenbrink, Managing Director of the Initiative Urheberrecht,
emphasizes:
“It is a groundbreaking result if we now have proof that the reproduction of
works by an AI model constitutes a copyright-relevant reproduction and, in
addition, that making them available on the European Union market may infringe
the right of making available to the public.”
The composer and spokesperson for the Copyright Initiative, Matthias Hornschuh,
comments:
“There would be a new, profitable licensing market on the horizon, but no
remuneration is flowing, while generative AI is preparing to replace those
whose content it lives from in its own market. This jeopardizes professional
knowledge work and cannot be in the interests of society, culture or the
economy. All the better that the authors of our tandem study provide the
technological and copyright basis for finally turning the legal consideration
of generative artificial intelligence from its head to its feet.”
