How do I attribute Copyright to ChatGPT and other Generative AIs which we use to create material?
Answer
Generative AIs such as ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are relatively new innovations and therefore, the information about who owns the Copyright of the content created is limited.
When determining who owns the Copyright of Generative AI created content it is necessary to look at the individual AI platform the content is generated from. Some platforms give users unconditional ownership of the Copyright of material created, while others may only give users Creative Commons (CC) licences.
It is important to check the terms and conditions of the individual OpenAI platform you generate material from and see what they say about how to credit the copyright.
Unless the Terms and Conditions state otherwise or the material is CC, label works created using Generative AI, as follows:
This work has been generated using [insert name of AI tool]. Any copyright subsisting in this work is owned by North Metropolitan TAFE, [Year].
Remember: Terms and Conditions of Generative AI platforms are subject to change, please ensure you check them before attributing copyright, even if you have used the platform before.
