Generative Artificial Intelligence 101: An Introduction
What is Generative AI, what can it do, and what should you be worried about?
Generative artificial intelligence technology (“Generative AI”) has seen a surge in advancement and attention in the past few years. With the release of ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence models (also referred to as “generative AI programs” or simply AI “generators”), Generative AI has integrated itself across many different industries, schools, and even households. As public use of this technology increases, there is a greater interest in its broader application.
Many industries have already seen substantial benefits, including increases in profit and efficiency, by implementing the use of Generative AI in their everyday operations. Corporations have found that substituting Generative AI for tasks that previously required human labor has led to reductions in cost, streamlined processes, and more customer-targeted information. There is no question that Generative AI technology has already made a significant impact on the way businesses operate.
However, while Generative AI is an exciting new tool, it is still in its technological infancy. Its benefits come with serious legal risks, including liability for copyright and trademark infringement, defamation and privacy violation claims, and liability for cybersecurity breaches, among others.
