# Members of the European Parliament to Require Disclosure of Copyrighted Materials for ChatGPT AI Model
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an integral aspect of modern technology for businesses to enhance customer experience, automate processes, and boost productivity. However, with increasing AI applications, potential risks and ethical concerns raised the need for appropriate regulations. On April 28th, members of the European Parliament reached a tentative political agreement on the proposal for the AI Act, which requires companies deploying generative AI tools to disclose copyrighted materials used to develop their systems. In this article, we’ll dive deep into ChatGPT, a popular generative AI tool, and the implications of the AI Act for businesses and end-users.

Background on the AI Act

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) implemented by the European Union (EU) in 2018 was designed to protect consumer data privacy. GDPR regulated how companies collect, store, and process EU citizens’ personal data. However, it did not address AI technologies’ impact on personal data privacy, cybersecurity, consumer rights, and other concerns. Therefore, the EU proposed the AI Act to address AI technology-related issues.

Scope of the AI Act

The AI Act proposed many measures to regulate AI, including but not limited to transparency, accountability, data quality, and human oversight. The AI Act covers many AI-enabled applications, including generative AI tools used for media, text, and image generation.

Generative AI Tools

Generative AI software applications can autonomously produce or construct information, such as natural language text, audio, or visuals, in ways that mimic human creativity. Generative AI is a thriving technology with a wide range of applications like healthcare, customer service, retail, and finance.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is a conversational AI platform that generates human-like answers to user queries using natural language processing (NLP). ChatGPT uses machine learning algorithms to leverage large datasets to create models capable of generating human-like text responses.

Copyrighted Materials Disclosure

The AI Act requires companies deploying generative AI tools like ChatGPT to disclose any copyrighted materials used to develop their models. This provision intends to prevent companies from illegally using and benefiting from copyrighted materials from content creators without their consent.

The Impact of AI Act

The AI Act aims to increase transparency, accountability, and ethical AI practices across industries. The act’s provisions require companies deploying AI to provide clear and easily understandable information to allow end-users to make informed decisions about whether to use the AI.

Concerns and Controversies

The AI Act faces concerns regarding the feasibility of compliance, competition, and potential impacts on innovation. For instance, some businesses may find it challenging to disclose copyrighted materials used in developing AI models, arguing that it exposes their competitive advantage. Additionally, some businesses may concern the AI Act may stifle AI innovation by imposing too many regulations.

Conclusion

The AI Act represents an essential step towards regulating AI and enhancing accountability and transparency in AI applications. The act’s provisions on disclosure of copyrighted materials aim to protect content creators while ensuring ethical AI practices. In implementing the act, businesses must balance compliance with innovation while considering the potential benefits to end-users.
