The Pipe, Not the Posts: How Section 230’s Protections Extend to Generative AI Platforms

Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (“Section 230”) protects online platforms from liability for user-generated speech. Based on the premise that platforms generally do not create original content but instead curate their users’ own speech, Section 230’s protections have historically applied to a platform’s algorithmically assembled, selected or sequenced content; algorithms or features that amplified or directed user generated speech to particular users were generally protected. Indeed, the old rule of thumb was the more a platform used algorithms or automation, the more likely user generated speech remained user generated speech. GenAI has the potential to change that calculus. A platform that ingests user generated content and publishes a transformed output, can blur Section 230’s line between publication and creation. The central question is whether Section 230 protects GenAI, which analyzes, but does not alter, user-created content to produce an outcome, and its corresponding outputs.

Artificial Intelligence: The Rapidly Evolving Landscape of AI Class Action Litigation Has Become a Wild, Wild World

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been finding its way into business for some time, but that trend was dramatically accelerated with the arrival of generative AI (Gen AI), which can create new content on its own. The release of a relatively easy-to-use version of Gen AI in late 2022 was followed by the rapid adoption of the technology—and not long after, by the arrival of class action lawsuits centered on AI.
