For a still nascent technology, generative artificial intelligence already has an impressive resume. It can compose music, summarise wads of legal documents in seconds and generate television adverts based on minimal descriptive input. To become even cleverer, weed out errors and broaden its uses, AI models will need to continuously ingest human-generated content to train on. But the legal framework required to facilitate this symbiosis between man and machine has fallen woefully behind. That puts the long-term development of the technology, and the individuals and companies who feed it with unique data and insights, in harm’s way.
对于一项仍处于发展初期的技术，生成式人工智能已经拥有令人印象深刻的履历。它可以创作音乐、在几秒钟内总结大量法律文件，并根据极少的描述性输入生成电视广告。为了变得更聪明、消除错误并拓宽其用途，AI模型需要不断摄取人类生成的内容进行训练。然而，促进这种人机互惠互利关系所需的法律框架却严重滞后。这使得该技术的长期发展，以及为其提供独特数据和见解的个人和公司处于危险之中。
