If ChatGPT wrote it, who owns the copyright? It depends on where you live, but in Australia it’s complicated

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

ChatGPT and other generative AI tools which draw on large language models (LLMs) are a hot topic. Released in November 2022 by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a chatbot – it generates text output refined through user prompts.

What makes it special is just how sophisticated and impressive that output is. The stratospheric rise of generative AI tools has sparked much discussion over what it might mean for the future of education, the job market, humanity and society as a whole.

By now, you’ve likely interacted with a generative AI. But who owns copyright to the output, and how does copyright law apply?
