Is it lawful for generative AI to draw on protected works without permission? The question sits at the heart of today’s most urgent debates on AI, and the answer is anything but simple. This book takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to unpack how copyright exceptions apply—or fail to apply—in the age of generative AI. It examines how major jurisdictions, including the United States, China, the European Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, are confronting these challenges.The book begins by explaining the basic principles of copyright law and why they matter for both AI training and AI-generated content. It then surveys the key copyright exceptions and licensing routes currently available, highlighting how legal uncertainty has complicated efforts to regulate the way generative AI systems access and use protected material. To make sense of this uncertainty, the book looks beyond the law and examines the broader forces shaping the debate: emerging norms around AI ethics and copyright, the evolving business models built on generative AI, concerns about the market impact of AI-generated products, and the technical realities of generative models, from the black-box problem to the structure of latent space. These dynamics show why existing copyright exceptions, designed for an earlier technological era, often struggle to keep pace with generative AI. The book concludes with a framework for rethinking copyright exceptions that integrates legal, economic, normative, and technological considerations.By bringing together insights across jurisdictions and disciplines, this book offers a clear and timely account of how legal systems are trying to adapt copyright rules to the rise of generative AI without stifling innovation. It will appeal to scholars of intellectual property and artificial intelligence, as well as policymakers, regulators, and AI developers navigating this fast-changing landscape.

"A masterfully researched and remarkably clear guide to one of the most urgent legal questions of our time. With its comparative, interdisciplinary approach, this book demystifies the rapidly evolving intersection of copyright law and generative AI, offering readers not just essential legal insights but also a nuanced understanding of the broader ethical, economic, and technological forces at play. An indispensable resource for anyone grappling with the challenges—and the promise—of AI-driven creativity."Jyh-An LeeProfessor and Executive Director of the Centre for Legal Innovation and Digital Society (CLINDS), The Chinese University of Hong Kong"Dr Li has made a major contribution to global debates concerning the effect of artificial intelligence on the legal regimes governing intellectual property and the reforms necessary to balance the need to protect innovation in both authorship and AI-product development. With an acute sensitivity to legal policy and an impressive jurisdictional range, she examines the dilemmas for copyright law created by the market ethos and technical feature of AI systems. The framework Dr Li proposes for a copyright regime which is technologically fit-for-purpose is both creative and principled: it should be mandatory reading for stakeholders sculpting the future of intellectual property law."Will BatemanProfessorANU Law School, Australian National University
