According to a statement released by the business on Thursday, Microsoft (MSFT.O) will pay legal damages on behalf of customers who use its artificial intelligence (AI) products if the customers are sued for copyright infringement for the output created by such systems.
Microsoft has said it would take responsibility for any possible legal risks arising due to claims brought forward by third parties so long as the company’s customers use “the guardrails and content filters” built into its products. The corporation made this promise. It provides capabilities to lower the possibility that the AI would return material that infringes on someone else’s rights.
Users have expressed worries over the possibility of generative artificial intelligence, which refers to computer programs capable of producing text, pictures, sounds, and other data to produce material without attributing it to its original creators. The growth of generative AI has led to these issues.
Microsoft is betting its future success on GenAI, expanding on its previous investment in OpenAI, which developed ChatGPT. The software giant has already integrated the technology into various products, including its workplace productivity tools, cloud services, and Search.
The Copilot Copyright Commitment this corporation has made expands the intellectual property indemnity coverage that Microsoft already has to include copyright claims related to using its AI-powered assistants known as Copilots and Bing Chat Enterprise.
