The National Post reports in its Tuesday, Oct. 17, edition that the Liberal government is asking for input on potential changes to copyright law to account for the emergence of generative artificial intelligence systems like Microsoft-backed ChatGPT. The Post's Anja Karadeglia writes that questions include whether copyright protection should apply to AI-generated work, or whether it should be reserved exclusively for work created by humans. The goal is "to continue the important fact-finding work to inform copyright policy in an era where content, including content that seems creative and original, can be routinely generated by an AI system." The Post reported earlier this month that the federal government does not know how Canadian copyright law applies to systems like ChatGPT, and is following multiple lawsuits in the U.S. Court cases from comedian Sarah Silverman, a group of artists, Getty Images, and authors including John Grisham and George R.R. Martin, allege generative artificial intelligence systems infringe on copyright by using copyrighted works without permission. The rapid emergence of the technology has left governments grappling with how to regulate it.
