As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to advance its way further into our daily lives, new, and often controversial, players are entering the space, intensifying the competition. While we see the immediate benefits, these innovations also give rise to a complex suite of legal challenges, particularly in respect of how AI models are trained.
The latest competitor to enter the industry, DeepSeek AI, came under fire, not only, for potential sharing of user data, but also met with claims that its model is trained on outputs from existing AI models – specifically Open AI’s ChatGPT. These allegations raise critical questions for the industry regarding AI copyright, data usage rights, and just how enforceable platform policies really are.
