Browse content that sets out the basics of artificial intelligence

Five days after it was launched, ChatGPT, the famous chatbot based on generative artificial intelligence, had a million users; two months later, it had 100 million. Neither TikTok nor Netflix had achieved these levels of growth in user numbers in such a short time. More and more people are using AI tools to prepare texts or create images and videos in just a few seconds, and new questions are arising as they become more widespread. 

Who owns content produced using AI tools? Are there any limits on using the images or texts they generate? The UOC Library team offers you a new Library Guide, containing a selection of contents focusing on the relationship between intellectual property and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
