人工智能是時下當紅炸子雞;就如前述標題,openAI擷取報上之文章用以訓練聊天機器人,是否侵害報業之著作權,係美國現今還在審理的案件,尚未有判決,未有定論,係仍在發展中的議題。
問題意識、省思:
報業是否為其所主張著作之著作權人?
紐約時報所述文章是否均有著作權?著作權人係何人?著作財產權人均為紐約時報?其所主張之文章是否均符合著作權法之權利保護要件,而受著作權法保護?
合理使用?促進文化發展?保障著作權人與調和社會公共利益,促進文化發展之權衡?
訓練AI必然行為?
自動擷取文章?或人為下指令擷取?

“We’ve spent billions of dollars gathering information and reporting news at our publications, and we can’t allow OpenAI and Microsoft to expand the Big Tech playbook of stealing our work to build their own businesses at our expense,” said a written statement from Frank Pine, executive editor for the MediaNews Group and Tribune Publishing.
