Nowadays, various generative AI models are being developed and rolled out across the world. These models, especial Large Language Models are at the moment in the center of a broad public discussion of specialists from very different disciplines in science, but also from education, health, public administration, law makers and politicians. Also, non-specialists, just committed citizens participate in this discussion about the implications of these AI developments and their impact to society and human being. The focus of this Workshop is “Legal, societal and academic implications of Generative AI models”. This workshop will discuss the implications of such AI systems from a legal, societal and academic view-point. Issues regarding the use of generative AI models have been recently highlighted (for example, https://hbr.org/2023/04/generative-ai-has-an-intellectual-property-problem, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01693-8, https://rse.org.uk/resources/resource/blog/the-socio-ethical-challenges-of-generative-ai/ ). Such issues need deeper discussions and possible exploration. The questions that this workshop intends to address are: “What are the implications on intellectual property rights? Can generative AI systems inadvertently perpetuate bias and discrimination? Can harmful effects to people and society be attributed to use of such systems? Would generative AI violate the copyright and trademark rights of the creators/source of data used for training? Can the use of such AI systems interfere with the quality of teaching and learning?”. Organizing such a workshop will help focus on some of the technological challenges, societal challenges and acceptance challenges of generative AI systems. We envisage two types of impact from the workshop – impact on the field of generative AI and impact on society and standards. The potential impact on the field of generative AI is that relevant challenges and techniques can be discussed and in-turn new focus areas may arise. The potential impact on society and standards is that in the context of such systems, need for new methods and experiments to address specific problems may emerge.
