Cornell finds advanced AIs recreate up to 90% copyrighted books
Technology
A Cornell University study just revealed that advanced AI models like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 Pro can actually recreate up to 90% of copyrighted books, sometimes even if they were not trained on those exact texts.
This challenges what tech companies have been saying about their AIs not being able to copy content, and it is raising some big copyright questions.
AIs expand summaries, raising copyright concerns
Researchers noticed these AIs could turn quick plot summaries into full-length stories, and even recall exact lines from authors who were not in their training data.
That means current safeguards might not be enough.
With these findings, it is time to rethink how copyright laws handle AI.
