Generative AI is currently at the peak of the AI hype cycle, and is being used for a wide range of applications. Trained on vast amounts of data, generative AI models can produce content such as text, music, images, and even video from other inputs.

Given the vast amounts of data required to train these models, data is often scraped from the internet, where anything in the public domain might be seen as available for free use. However, there has currently been a slew of copyright lawsuits that seek to challenge the legality of the training of these models, particularly due to the training of the models on copyrighted content such as books.
