However, legal experts warn that users should proceed with caution when handing over their images and creatives to Open AI.

Siddharth Mahajan, partner Athena Legal, shared exclusively with PRmoment India that "A core concern revolves around the voluntary sharing of unique facial data, which could be utilized to further train AI models. This voluntary data collection method potentially circumvents AI copyright and privacy issues, granting OpenAI the ability to use voluntarily submitted photographs without legal limitations. 

The sheer volume of images being uploaded presents a substantial risk of privacy violations, identity theft, data security breaches, and impersonation. Potentially, OpenAI can further use this data to train its models without further consent."

Another question is who owns the copyright to the images generated through Chat GPT.
Mahajan explains, "Typically, as per the OpenAI terms of use, the user owns the rights to any output generated by the said user’s input.

However, in the present case creating Ghibli studio-inspired images may lead to a copyright infringement claim against open AI on account of OpenAI training its AI modes on original Ghibli artwork if such training was without authorisation. Globally there have been many legal cases filed against various AI platforms including OpenAI for such unauthorised use of the copyrighted work to train AI models."
