Torrance, University of Kansas School of Law; MIT Loan School of Management; and Rebecca Black, University of California, Irvine, are publishing ChatGPT and Works Scholarly: Best Practices and Legal Pitfalls in Writing with AI in the SMU Law Review Forum. Here is the abstract.
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised questions about whether the use of AI is appropriate and legal in various professional contexts. Here, we present a perspective on how scholars may approach writing in conjunction with AI, and offer approaches to evaluating whether or not such AI-writing violates copyright or falls within the safe harbor of fair use. We present a set of best practices for standard of care with regard to plagiarism, copyright, and fair use. As AI is likely to grow more capable in the coming years, it is appropriate to begin integrating AI into scholarly writing activities. We offer a framework for establishing sound legal and scholarly foundations.
