On November 7th, OpenAI officially launched a new copyright protection initiative called "Copyright Shield," which will provide legal defense against copyright infringement for businesses using its generative AI products. This plan primarily targets content generated by users of OpenAI's developer platform's "generally available" features and ChatGPT Enterprise Edition, excluding the free and Plus versions of ChatGPT. OpenAI will cover legal expenses incurred by clients in dealing with intellectual property disputes through this initiative. OpenAI stated that it will protect client rights through built-in copyright safeguards, a move that aligns with the industry's growing concern for IP protection. Tech giants like IBM and Microsoft have also announced compensation for intellectual property disputes involving generative AI clients, and OpenAI is joining this trend. Industry insiders believe this will alleviate concerns about using generative AI and promote the healthy development of related technologies.
