Risks of copyright infringement

"The use of vast amounts of data for training general- purpose AI models has caused concerns related to data rights and intellectual property. Data collection and content generation can implicate a variety of data rights laws, which vary across jurisdictions and may be under active litigation. Given the legal uncertainty around data collection practices, AI companies are sharing less information about the data they use. This opacity makes third- party AI safety research harder."
