OpenAI has also announced a Copyright Shield, which is a pledge to protect developers from legal fees arising from copyright infringement lawsuits related to content generated by OpenAI's models. This move is seen as a way to attract and retain developers in the OpenAI ecosystem, as it provides them with a safety net against potential copyright issues. The company is currently defending against four separate lawsuits from content owners claiming that OpenAI's AI models violated their copyrights.
Key takeaways:
