The rise of stylesynthesis is creating a real IP headache. If you use AI to, say, mimic the artistic style of Van Gogh on a photo you took, who owns the resulting image? Is it you, as you provided the base image? Is it the AI developers, because they created the stylesynthesis algorithm? Or does the estate of Van Gogh have a claim, considering the stylistic influence?
This gets even murkier when the AI is trained on vast datasets of copyrighted material. Are there implicit licenses being granted just by using the tool? What happens if the output is commercially successful? the legal landscape is still incredibly uncertain, and it feels like the courts are going to be playing catch-up for a while. Anyone else following this and concerned about the implications for creative work?
