A decision was made by the US Federal Court regarding a new work idea related to the “Game of Thrones” series created based on ChatGPT artificial intelligence by George R. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
It was ruled that this may infringe on R. Martin’s copyright.
This case has sparked serious discussions in literature about the role of artificial intelligence and copyright issues. This was reported by *Business Insider*.
The court decision noted that if content created by artificial intelligence replicates significant elements of the original work, it may be considered a copyright infringement. The court document emphasized that “A panel of reasonable jurors may find this content substantially similar to the original work.” In this case, OpenAI and Microsoft companies were sued by a number of prominent authors, including Michael Shebon, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Sarah Silverman.
The plaintiffs claim that their works were used without permission during the training process of the artificial intelligence. According to them, some content created by artificial intelligence is very similar in content and style to the original works.
An important example in the case is a prompt given to ChatGPT to create a sequel for “Clash of Kings,” unlike the “Storm of Swords” work. In response, ChatGPT provided a version of the story including new characters and events, such as Lady Elara, the Targaryen heir, and magic related to dragons.
The court believes that such elements are close to the world of “A Song of Ice and Fire” and there is a possibility of copyright infringement. Representatives of OpenAI and Microsoft declined to comment on this matter.
In the next stage of the court process, the possibility that the neural network is based on the “fair use” principle will be considered.
