Ensure that your company respects copyright when using artificial intelligence

As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in working life increases, so do the legal risks associated with copyright in businesses. Starting from the beginning of next year, we will expand our copying licence for businesses and public administration organisations to cover the feeding of third-party material into AI through prompts.
