The court ruled on Tuesday (November 11) that OpenAI should have acquired licenses for German song lyrics in GEMA’s repertoire before using them to train and operate ChatGPT. The verdict marks the first time a European court has legally examined and ruled in favor of creators whose works have been used by generative AI systems. According to the ruling, ChatGPT’s systems contain copies of original works that are reproduced and made available in response to user prompts.
