MAI and Cartoon “don’t suggest a bright line rule pegged at so many bytes or milliseconds of persistence, but one based on the ability to perceive the original in the temporary copy,” Kristian Stout, director of innovation policy at the International Center for Law & Economics, said. “I can see how a smart lawyer would be able to assert that AI, running at scale, can definitely perceive the whole even with very ephemeral copies that a human would no hope of perceiving.”
