RettighedsAlliancen has released a new guideline that focuses on legal restrictions and requirements regarding the use of chatbots in educational institutions. The background for this initiative is that copyright-protected materials, such as textbooks, are uploaded to generative AI tools like ChatGPT without the permission of the rights holders. This practice is illegal, as it involves a digital processing of works that enables chatbots to reproduce the content or create texts reminiscent of the original material. To address this issue, RettighedsAlliancen has published a guideline that outlines the rules for the proper use of chatbots and emphasizes the importance of obtaining explicit permission from rights holders before uploading works.
The guideline aims to assist educators, students, and management in navigating the complex legal requirements that have arisen due to the increasing use of AI tools in education. The material is specifically targeted at Danish educational institutions and is based on RettighedsAlliancen's experience in protecting copyright material and the applicable legislation.
Note: This guideline does not cover the rules for training generative AI models. See more in RettighedsAlliancen's specific guideline on this topic.
