Generative AI continues to spark controversy after the New York Times sued Microsoft and Open AI for copyright infringement last December. The emerging software is transforming multiple industries by outputting information from collected data. However, this has raised authorship and creativity concerns.
Marcello Ertorteguy, a design expert and architect professor who experimented with the generative AI program Midjourney to produce 15 original books.
“[The battle] is unavoidable . . . we need to embrace it,” he said. “It’s huge and problematic, but we still need to test it.”
Ertorteguy compared the current intellectual property debate to the Napster copyright scandal of the early 2000s, suggesting that the rising technology would unavoidably face significant challenges.
