Legal Risks in Using AI Tools for Texts, Code, or Designs
The use of AI tools for creating texts, code, or graphic designs is now widespread. However, many users wonder: Can I be held liable if AI-generated content violates copyright, contains errors, or causes damage?
In this article, we examine the legal risks of using AI tools – and how you can protect yourself
⚖️ Who is responsible for AI-generated content?
The legal responsibility for content created by AI tools such as ChatGPT or Bard typically lies with the user deploying the AI – not the developer of the AI. This means that as a user:
✅ You are liable for copyright infringements if you use protected content ✅ You are responsible for errors in texts or code that you distribute ✅ You can be held accountable for damages if your content contains false information
📌 Copyright Risks
AI models generate content based on the data they were trained on. In some cases, the AI may partially reproduce copyrighted works. If you reuse such content without verifying the source, you could violate copyright laws.
Example: An AI-generated text contains excerpts from a copyrighted article without proper attribution. If you present this text as your own, you could receive warnings or face lawsuits.
📌 Faulty Content
AI tools are not infallible. If you use AI-generated code that is faulty, and this error causes damage to a product or software, you may be held liable.
Example: An AI tool generates code that contains a security vulnerability. If this vulnerability is exploited, you as the developer may be held responsible for the resulting damages.
🚨 How can you protect yourself from liability risks?
Thoroughly review AI-generated content: Do not use content without first verifying its accuracy and legal risks.
Avoid copyrighted content: Ensure that texts, code, or designs generated by AI do not contain protected works.
