For our next #DigiBlogChat, our topic is Intellectual Property Protection, with topic and questions by @lazblazter.bsky.social! If you’re a content creator, or even if you just have photos or drawings out there on the Internet, you may want to take steps to protect your own work. Join us to talk about protecting your intellectual property. You may hear opinions from others that could help you protect your own work, so tune into #DigiBlogChat on Bluesky on February 24!
Exciting times are ahead of us, with more and more interesting topics!
Join us on BlueSky each Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time for #DigiBlogChat. My partner for these chats is @LazBlazter. If you need to know how to participate, click here: How to Join #DigiBlogChat. P.S. Don’t forget to add the #digiblogchat hashtag!
NOTE THE TIME: 8pm UK time, 9pm western Europe, 3pm ET, 12:00 NOON pm PT.
Here are the Questions
Q1. The “Clean Room” Threat: How can you protect proprietary software logic when LLMs can perform “black-box” reverse engineering—observing an application’s inputs and outputs to recreate the underlying code without seeing the source? #DigiBlogChat
Q2. Adversarial Poisoning: Is it ethically or legally permissible to embed “data poisoning” (like Nightshade or Glaze) into your IP to intentionally break any AI model that scrapes it without a license? #DigiBlogChat
Q3. Proof of Provenance: Will the future of IP rely less on government registries and more on decentralized ledgers (Blockchain) to provide a time-stamped, immutable “birth certificate” for every digital asset? #DigiBlogChat
Q4. The Employee Prompt Leak: Is an organisation’s IP still a “Trade Secret” if an employee feeds it into a LLM to summarise a document? At what point is legal protection “waived”? #DigiBlogChat
Q5. Contractual Moats: Should “Terms of Service” agreements become the primary tool for IP protection, effectively replacing Copyright law through private contract? #DigiBlogChat
Q6. The Style Paradox: If an AI is trained on your portfolio and produces work “in your style” without using any specific assets, should “style” become a protectable IP asset, or does that stifle human creativity? #DigiBlogChat
Q7. Watermarking Vulnerabilities: Since AI can now strip invisible watermarks from images and code, what “un-strippable” markers can be developed to prove ownership deep within a model’s weights? #DigiBlogChat
Q8. Prompt as Trade Secret: If a company develops a highly complex multi-token prompt that allows an LLM to generate perfect proprietary code, is that prompt itself protectable IP? #DigiBlogChat
Q9. The Right to Unlearn: If a court finds that an AI was trained on infringing material, is the only remedy to delete the model entirely? #DigiBlogChat
Q10. Digital Twins vs. Fair Use: At what point does an AI-generated “synthetic influencer” that mimics a celebrity’s cadence and personality cross the line from parody/homage into IP theft? #DigiBlogChat
