At the BTLJ Spring Symposium’s panel on software, copyright, and generative AI, scholars and practitioners traced how AI-generated code — likely uncopyrightable under current Copyright Office guidance — threatens to collapse the legal infrastructure underpinning open source software licenses, and how empirical evidence of large language model memorization is forcing courts to reconsider whether a model’s weights may themselves constitute a copy fixed in a tangible medium of expression.
