Recent statements by Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleiman have sparked a wave of discussions. In his opinion, everything that is published in the public domain on the Internet becomes "free software" and can be freely copied and used by anyone.
In an interview with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin, Suleiman noted that since the advent of the Internet in the ' 90s, there has been an unspoken agreement that any content posted in the public domain is subject to fair use. He claims that such use implies the possibility of copying, reproducing and processing content.
However, these statements were made against the background of several lawsuits against Microsoft and OpenAI. The companies are accused of illegally using copyrighted online stories to train their generative AI models. Suleiman insists on the legality of such actions, but his statements raise doubts among many experts.
The fact is that copyrights in the United States arise automatically from the moment of creation of the work, and no additional registration is required to obtain them. Publication on the Internet does not invalidate these rights. Moreover, special licenses are required to waive copyright.
The right to fair use is not granted automatically; it is established by the court, which evaluates what is copied, for what purpose, to what extent, and whether it will cause damage to the copyright owner. Despite this, many companies working with AI claim that learning from protected content is fair use.
Suleiman also commented on the file robots.txt, which is used to indicate which bots can crawl the site. He believes that if a site or publisher explicitly prohibits crawling for purposes other than indexing, then this may become the subject of legal proceedings. However, robots.txt It is not a legal document and is also often ignored by some companies, including Microsoft partners such as OpenAI.
These statements highlight the complexity and uncertainty of copyright and AI issues that are likely to be decided in the courts in the near future.
