Allen’s insights on IP protections when using Artificial Intelligence Tools
Lawyers, Allens, recently published an insightful article on the limitation on Intellectual Property (IP) protections when using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Key takeaways include:
- most AI providers provide indemnity against losses arising from third party infringements, but these generally only apply to paid version of AI tools
- strict limitations apply which may result in limited potential recourse against a provider for losses arising from using an AI tool
- Not all the terms and conditions acknowledge that the user and not the AI provider owns the IP rights in the outputs generated by the user
- Users grant broad permissive IP licences to AI providers, which requires careful consideration of how users can mitigate the risks of IP rights
- Most terms and conditions are governed by laws in the US or Ireland, which may also require disputes to be resolved in those jurisdictions
