Artificial intelligence — AI — is reshaping how content is created, distributed, and owned. How a writer, artist, musician or other content creator uses Chat GPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or any other AI tool has legal and ethical implications. What's at stake could include financial justice, intellectual honesty and trust.
On this episode of Newhouse Impact, Associate Professor of Communications Nina Brown covers copyright, first amendment rights, ownership, attribution, liability and transparency. She contends all are being tested by new AI tools that can generate text, images, music—and move among those domains in ways previously unimagined. Further, she notes, policies and the law struggle to keep up, with some pretty important consequences on the line.
Newhouse Impact is a collaboration between WAER and the Newhouse School of Public Communications with help from the office of Dr. Regina Lutrell. Research and guest scheduling help from Chris Fiegel and Maggie DiPatri.
