Microsoft has recently declared its commitment to legally back customers faced with copyright infringement lawsuits over content produced by its AI systems. This reassuring initiative, named the Copilot Copyright Commitment, is an enhancement of the tech giant's ongoing intellectual property indemnification coverage. The thrust to buffer legal protection emerges as generative AI tools have triggered concerns over issues of reproducing copyrighted materials sans rightful attribution. Microsoft's burgeoning investment in AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and Bing Chat, capable of generating unique code, text, and image content, has influenced this move. The AI models for these Microsoft products have honed their skills by gathering publicly accessible data on the internet without explicit permission from the copyright owners. In light of a swift adoption of generative AI tech across the industrial landscape, Microsoft is eager to provide its customers with added confidence to utilise its AI systems without worries of potential copyright challenges. The company vouches to cover damages and legal expenses under its policy. The new commitment assures that Microsoft will bear any legal losses for customers employing Copilot, Bing Chat, and other AI services, as long as they adhere to the in-built guardrails of the products. Microsoft's step is particularly significant in the context of prevalent industry-wide debates concerning the proper crediting or licensing of copyrighted material used for training AI models. Notably, Microsoft's Copilot technology was subject to a class-action lawsuit last year for alleged copyright violations.
