Episode 34 — Legal & Policy Landscape: Copyright, Consent, Compliance

This episode covers the legal and policy environment surrounding AI, an area increasingly tested in certification exams. Copyright concerns arise when models are trained on copyrighted material, raising questions about fair use and derivative works. Consent issues appear in datasets that include personal information, requiring explicit permission or lawful basis for processing. Compliance refers to adherence with regulatory frameworks, which differ by jurisdiction but share common principles of accountability, transparency, and user protection.
Examples clarify the stakes. A generative AI trained on music may infringe copyright if proper licenses are not secured. A healthcare application must obtain patient consent before using data for research. Compliance challenges include aligning with frameworks such as GDPR, which mandates data subject rights, or sector-specific laws like HIPAA in the United States. Troubleshooting considerations involve auditing datasets for unauthorized content, ensuring contracts address rights and responsibilities, and implementing policies for dispute resolution. Exam scenarios may present dilemmas requiring identification of the relevant legal principle or policy safeguard. By mastering this landscape, learners prepare to address AI not only as a technical tool but also as a regulated practice with legal obligations.
