Source: Kyunghyang ShinmunAlso reported by Yulchon LLC

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Commission published a Generative AI Copyright Guide on 27 December 2023. It recommends that AI companies secure lawful rights to copyrighted training data and compensate rights holders appropriately, rights holders who object to training should say so or use technical measures, users should not prompt for infringing output, and AI output with no human creative input cannot be registered.

Why it matters

AI developers in Korea were told to license training data, and creators learned that registration covers only the parts of a work that people made.
