PLI Ever Current Podcast Episode 19: Bill Tanenbaum and Danny Ertel, a Founding Partner and Director of Vantage Partners, a consulting firm, compare and contrast business transformation using AI with prior business transformation technologies. Bill and Danny discuss IP protection for Generative AI inputs and outputs and whether data is a form of property, as well as what rights companies should have or should not have to extract patterns from third-party data. Danny addresses how companies need to be responsible for harms resulting from their use of Generative AI, and therefore need to be responsible for the inputs they use in training models. Bill and Danny also discuss how regulating AI could both provide competitive advantages to the large incumbent technology companies and disadvantage smaller and emerging companies in the field.
