The training of AI models is based on the use of data that will improve the output of the respective models. For this reason, it is important to think about the origin of the data used right from the start. This includes knowing how it was collected, where it was obtained from, and which licence terms are they subject to. Data protection aspects should also be taken into account before the training programme begins: Has the data been sufficiently anonymised, and can the results no longer be traced back to individuals? Of course, you should also be aware of the legal conditions of the data set before feeding it into the AI model.
At the upcoming 17:15 Colloquium by the ETH Library, David Rosenthal will explain on which legal basis published content can be used for the training of AI models, especially large language models, and what needs to be considered. He will place a special focus on questions of copyright and licence agreements.
