In general, AI researchers must consider copyright laws when using copyrighted works to train their AI models. In many countries, researchers may use copyrighted works as long as they have obtained a licence to use those works or their use can be considered fair use.
However, whether the transformation of a work into an AI model constitutes a sufficiently transformative fair use is a matter of debate. Some lawyers believe that transforming a work into an AI model can be considered fair use, while others believe that this is not sufficient to justify an unlicensed use.
It is therefore important for AI researchers to consider copyright law and consult a copyright lawyer to determine whether their use of a copyrighted work is legal.
