Generative AI systems can inadvertently produce copyright-infringing content due to various factors like inadequate curation and overfitting.
Platforms like MidJourney and OpenAI's DALL-E struggle to prevent unintentional reproduction of copyrighted content.
Efforts to suppress copyrighted material in foundation models face challenges, with OpenAI stating it's 'impossible' to create effective models without copyrighted data.
The need to filter copyrighted material in generative AI systems like LAION poses complex challenges in automated detection.
CopyJudge, an academic collaboration, offers an automated method using large vision-language models to identify copyright infringement in text-to-image diffusion models.
CopyJudge optimizes copyright-infringing prompts and uses refined prompts to create images less likely to invoke copyright issues.
The system mimics human legal judgments by breaking down images, filtering non-copyrightable parts, and adjusting prompts to avoid copyright problems while preserving creativity.
Experimental results show CopyJudge's effectiveness in identifying and mitigating copyright infringement, outperforming traditional methods in some cases.
CopyJudge utilizes LVLMs for infringement detection and prompt mitigation, achieving better results in reducing explicit and implicit infringement compared to previous methods.
While promising, reliance on LVLMs for infringement detection may raise concerns about bias and consistency, and automated copyright enforcement in AI-generated content remains a complex issue.
The study aims to automate copyright protection in AI-generated images, though challenges in legal interpretation and AI consensus persist, extending beyond the scope of the current work.
