Microsoft Extends Its Copilot Copyright Commitment to AI Content

“Microsoft to defend customers on AI copyright challenges”

Microsoft has said that it will “pay legal damages on behalf of customers using its artificial intelligence (AI) products”. Read the full announcement here.

What does this mean? Well, Microsoft has dollar dollar bills so I’m guessing people are going to try to find lawsuits because I’m also going to have to assume that if someone loses a copyright claim it is going to affect every case Microsoft has defending their AI against infringement.

We all know these generative-AI creators don’t care about the copyright of anyone else’s IP, just making money off of their own new creation. They walked all over content creators in every realm. Their products stand on the backs of billions of IP that they did not pay for. It is a bold (but not unexpected) move for a company like Microsoft to take this position. But as the Dutch proverb goes, “When apes climb high they show their naked rumps.” Like Meta’s bet on 3D Half-Life (what’s it called again?), the hubris of these giant corporations may be their eventual downfall. How very Hegelian Dialect of it all.
