Google and the decision in the case GEMA v. OpenAI by the Regional Court of Munich. He demonstrates that the training of AI can frequently be categorized as reproduction and frequently falls under the text and data mining exception. Additionally, he asserts that AI-generated outputs of journalistic content can constitute public reproduction. The model itself becomes the focal point of copyright responsibility. The onus falls primarily upon the providers of artificial intelligence (AI). The presentation&#8217;s concluding remarks emphasize the ramifications for press freedom, remuneration systems, and European platform regulation.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Speaker<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/europeannewschool.eu\/philipp-hacker.html\">Prof. Dr. Philipp Hacker, LL.M. (Yale)<\/a>, holds the Research Chair for Law and Ethics of the Digital Society at the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) at European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder). His research focuses on the regulation of digital technologies, particularly concerning artificial intelligence. Philipp often collaborates with computer scientists and mathematicians, especially on questions of explainable AI, algorithmic fairness, and AI\u2019s climate effects. For his work, he received several academic prizes, such as the 2020 Science Award of the German Foundation for Law and Computer Science. He regularly advises national and EU legislators, regulatory agencies, and industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":2622,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-7316","hbi-events","type-hbi-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Copyright, AI, and the Future of Internet Search - Leibniz Institut f\u00fcr Medienforschung | Leibniz Institute for Media Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/leibniz-hbi.de\/en\/hbi-events\/copyright-ai-and-the-future-of-internet-search\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Copyright, AI, and the Future of Internet Search\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We welcome Prof. Dr. Philipp Hacker, LL.M.
