【明報專訊】UNDER the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), the training of AI models requires large amounts of text and data, which may involve copyright content. The SAR government intends to draw on foreign experience, including that from Europe, to introduce an exemption regime to facilitate AI development and application, and, on the other hand, include restrictive conditions such as allowing copyright owners to reserve their rights of forbidding the use of their materials for AI training. Although the government wants to strike a good balance, many questions remain regarding how this can work out, given that even Europe is still fumbling with it.
