Today I’m going to talk about something that is all over social media at the moment and has been coming up frequently when I talk with my clients and business friends. And that is, 'who owns the copyright if I use Chat GPT?'

In simple terms, Chat GPT is a powerful AI tool that can produce copy for you and assist you in many different ways in your business. However, just like with any tool we need to decide on using, we need to know what the value add of Chat GPT is. It’s also important to understand what the risks and implications are.

So what is copyright? I explain what it is and how our original creative works are protected in Australia. I also address the question I get asked a lot, which is, ‘do I own the copyright or does Chat GPT?’ 

While this is a valid question, copyright legislation is framed around original works being created by individuals. Therefore, I encourage you to think about the question I believe is much more pressing. Is the content Chat GPT creating for you original, or is it infringing on someone else’s copyright?

If you intend on using Chat GPT in your business, I encourage you to make sure you've got your systems and processes developed in a way where you have your checks and balances, you are satisfied that what you are putting out into the world is your work and you can be confident that you're not copying somebody else's.

I hope today’s episode empowers you with the knowledge and tools to help you move forward in your business with confidence.
