AI copyright under spotlight as Asian courts take diverse IP approaches
By SARAH WONG

When AI chatbot ChatGPT hit the market in late 2022, it unleashed an AI frenzy that's still engulfing the world. The key technology underpinning the tool, generative AI (Gen AI), is driven by sophisticated systems that produce content from text to images.

Users are astounded by its uncanny knack for not only crafting coherent paragraphs in response to queries but also generating digital artwork and videos based on textual prompts. It's as if, upon presenting it with a puzzle, all one needs to do is sit back and watch the magic unfold.
