[EN] The NYT vs. OpenAI Lawsuit

 

1. The Core of the Legal Battle: "Fair Use" vs. "Copyright Infringement"

The New York Times (NYT) has sued OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming that their AI models were trained on millions of NYT articles without permission. The legal fight boils down to whether AI training qualifies as "Fair Use" (transformative use) or if it is a systematic "Copyright Infringement" that threatens the original creator's business.

2. Impact on Tech Stocks (Microsoft, Alphabet, and NVIDIA)

This lawsuit is not just a legal drama; it is a major event for the stock market.

  • The Risk: If OpenAI loses, tech giants may have to pay billions in licensing fees, potentially lowering profit margins for AI services.
  • The Opportunity: A clear legal framework could actually reduce market uncertainty, paving the way for sustainable growth in the AI sector. Investors are closely watching how companies like Microsoft (MSFT) and NVIDIA (NVDA) navigate these legal hurdles.

3. Why This Matters for Content Creators and Investors

For creators, this case will define the "value of data." For investors, it reveals which companies have the strongest legal and ethical frameworks. Understanding the intersection of Tech regulations and Market reactions is the key to predicting the next leader in the AI race.

 

[My Personal Insight]

Personally, I believe this lawsuit is a landmark event that could harmonize the protection of creators' rights with the public interest in the sustainable advancement of generative AI. For instance, we might see a future where major portals like Google or Naver pay cash compensation to influential knowledge producers, such as prominent bloggers, for the use of their data in AI training. This shift would not only protect individual creators but also ensure a more ethical and sustainable ecosystem for the entire AI industry.

[EN] AI and Copyright Infringement: Analyzing Legal Issues from Training Data to AI Outputs

  I. Copyright Issues at the Training Stage (Input Level) The Fair Use Debate: Regarding the unauthorized use of copyrighted works to train AI models, developers argue that such use constitutes 'Transformative Use' and thus qualifies as Fair Use . On the other hand, copyright holders oppose this, labeling it as 'unauthorized reproduction' that diminishes the value of original works. Legislative Safe Harbors (TDM): EU: Under the Copyright in the Digital Single Market (CDSM) Directive , Text and Data Mining (TDM) is permitted even for commercial purposes, provided the copyright holder has not opted out. Korea & Japan: Both countries have implemented or are discussing legislation that clarifies that utilizing copyrighted works for the purpose of 'information analysis' does not constitute infringement. II. Criteria for Judging Infringement in AI Outputs (Output Level) ...

[EN] Ensuring AI Availability and Resiliency: Legal Liabilities, SLA Strategies, and Global Compliance

  I. Definitions of AI Availability and Resiliency Availability: This refers to the state where AI services are accessible without delay when needed. Beyond mere server uptime, it means the Inference capabilities of the AI model must function normally. Resiliency: The ability of a system to quickly recover and normalize operations following a failure, such as server downtime, data corruption, or hacking. Complexity in AI: Unlike traditional software, AI relies on massive data pipelines and GPU resources. This creates a higher risk of a Single Point of Failure , where a bottleneck in one specific area can paralyze the entire service. II. SLA (Service Level Agreement) and Legal Liabilities Core Elements of SLA: Contracts typically include an "Uptime Guarantee" (e.g., 99.9%). If this standard is not met, the agreement often mandates providing 'Service Credits' as compensation. Liability M...

[KR] 내 작품이 AI 학습에? 창작물을 지키는 '옵트아웃(Opt-out)' 가이드

  1. AI 학습과 무단 크롤링의 현실 생성형 AI 기업들은 전 세계 웹사이트를 돌아다니며 데이터를 긁어모으는 ' 크롤러 (Crawler)' 를 사용합니다 . 이 과정에서 창작자의 개별적 동의 없이 공개된 저작물이 학습 데이터셋 (Dataset) 에 포함되는 일이 빈번하게 발생합니다 . 자신의 독특한 화풍이나 비공개 예정이었던 포트폴리오가 AI 에 의해 복제 가능한 형태로 학습되는 것에 대해 많은 창작자가 권리 침해를 호소하고 있습니다 .   2. 창작자를 지키는 방패 : ' 옵트아웃 (Opt-out)' 과 로봇 배제 표준 옵트아웃은 " 사전 동의 " 가 아닌 " 사후 거부 " 방식입니다 . 즉 , 기본적으로 학습에 동의한 것으로 간주되지만 , 창작자가 명시적으로 " 내 데이터는 빼달라 " 고 요청하면 학습에서 제외하는 절차를 의미합니다 . 이를 위한 기술적 차단은 본인의 웹사이트나 포트폴리오 사이트 루트 폴더에 robots.txt 파일을 설정하여 특정 AI 로봇의 접근을 막는 방식입니다 . 그 예로 User-agent: GPTBot, Disallow: / (OpenAI 의 접근을 차단하는 설정 ) 이 있습니다 .   3. 주요 플랫폼별 학습 거부 설정 방법 Adobe ( 어도비 ): 계정 설정의 ' 개인정보 보호 ' 메뉴에서 ' 콘텐츠 분석 (Content Analysis)' 항목을 비활성화해야 어도비 AI 학습에 내 작업물이 사용되는 것을 막을 수 있습니다 .
