Copyright issues behind ChatGPT's creation
ChatGPT(Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a new chatbot model released by OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research lab, on November 30, 2022. The model uses natural language processing tools powered by artificial intelligence technology. ChatGPT is able to conduct conversations by learning and understanding modern human language, mainly English, and can also interact based on the contextual information of the chat. It performs chatting and communicating behavior truly like a human, and even completes tasks as writing emails, video scripts, translation, and code under certain scenarios.[1]
To train the model behind ChatGPT, a huge amount of data is collected from the Internet and applied to both supervised and reinforcement machine learning techniques. The answers delivered by ChatGPT, sometimes, are highly similar to the answers online created by human authors. Other times, it summarizes multiple answers, created by human authors, from its training dataset. Whether the creation of ChatGPT is considered to have originality is highly debating. Ethical issues like copyright get more and more attention from the general public.
Copyright
Copyright refers to the ownership of a creative work. Issues of copyright are mainly related to the use, distribution and protection of creative works. Creative works can be with formats in literary, artistic, educational or musical background. Copyright is intended to protect the originality of the idea created by the author with the form of a creative work, not the idea itself.[2]
