The UK Copyright and Creative Economy Centre, has released Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and EU Copyright Law: Who Owns AI?.
Here's an excerpt:
The question thus becomes the following: is the act of training a model for ML [Machine Learning] purposes a copyright relevant activity? . . . . In more precise terms, the research question of this short contribution will focus on the act of training a model for ML/NLP [Machine Learning/Natural Language Processing] purposes and attempts to answer the question of whether this act infringes copyright and in particular the right of reproduction. In addition to this, the contribution also intends to explore whether there are other rights that may be infringed, in particular the right of adaptation, and thus determine whether a ML trained model can be considered a creative adaptation of the original corpora.
