What type of work is protected by copyright?
Facts and discoveries
Ideas and concepts
Original literary works fixed in a tangible medium
Titles and names
Copyright protects original works of authorship fixed in a tangible form. It does not protect abstract ideas, titles, names, facts, or discoveries.
What best describes 'fair use'?
Unlimited use for educational purposes
Use without permission based on four statutory factors
Use of public domain works only
Use requiring payment to the author
Fair use allows unlicensed use of copyrighted material under four factors: purpose, nature, amount, and market effect. It is not an unlimited or purely educational exemption.
When is a work in the public domain?
When created by a private individual
When registered with a public library
When its copyright term has expired
When the author waives moral rights
Works enter the public domain once their copyright term expires or if they were never eligible for copyright protection. Registration or private creation does not automatically place works in the public domain.
Which principle requires giving credit to original creators?
Moral rights (attribution)
Confidentiality
Patenting
Fair use
Moral rights include the right of attribution, ensuring that authors receive credit for their work. Patents, confidentiality, and fair use cover different legal concerns.
Under US copyright law, purely AI-generated works with no human authorship are:
Covered only by fair use
Public domain and not copyrightable
Owned by the AI developer by default
Automatically granted a 70-year term
U.S. copyright law requires human authorship for protection, so works generated solely by AI without human creative input are treated as public domain. They do not receive standard copyright terms.
Which factor of fair use examines the quantity of the original work used?
Nature of the work
Amount and substantiality
Purpose and character
Effect on the market
The amount and substantiality factor assesses how much of the original work is used relative to the whole, focusing on both quantity and quality of the excerpt. It helps determine potential infringement risk.
Which scenario best illustrates transformative use?
Selling unauthorized copies for profit
Republishing an article verbatim with no changes
Translating a poem without commentary
Creating a parody that comments on the original
A parody adds new expression or meaning and comments on the original, making it transformative. Verbatim or purely translated works do not change the work's character sufficiently.
What is an ethical best practice when using AI tools for grading?
Rely solely on AI outcomes without human review
Keep AI decisions secret from students
Use AI to alter student grades arbitrarily
Disclose AI involvement and verify results
Ethical use of AI in grading requires transparency about AI involvement and human oversight to ensure accuracy, fairness, and accountability. Secret or arbitrary uses undermine trust.
A teacher notices an AI model exhibits gender bias in its recommendations. What is an appropriate response?
Retrain the model on more balanced data
Ignore bias since it is a technical issue
Continue without change; bias is unavoidable
Remove all references to gender from inputs
To address algorithmic bias, the model should be retrained or adjusted using balanced data that reduces discriminatory patterns. Ignoring or hiding gender references does not fix underlying bias.
An AI tool reproduces large passages from copyrighted text. What must a teacher do to comply?
Use it freely under educational exemption
Rely on the AI vendor's license automatically
Claim it's public domain if used in class
Obtain permission or remove the passages
Reproducing substantial copyrighted passages generally requires permission unless a fair use analysis supports it. Relying solely on an educational exemption or vendor claims can lead to infringement.
Which practice helps ensure AI-generated content respects intellectual property?
Using AI only in offline settings
Limiting AI use to public domain sources only
Reviewing outputs for unlicensed or infringing material
Blindly trusting vendor claims about licensing
Reviewing AI outputs helps identify and remove unlicensed content, ensuring compliance with copyright. Blind trust or arbitrary restrictions do not guarantee legal use.
To protect student privacy when using AI analytics, educators should:
Anonymize data and obtain consent
Publish all student data on public forums
Store data indefinitely without encryption
Share data with third parties without review
Anonymizing data and securing student consent uphold privacy laws. Public sharing or unencrypted storage violates student rights and data protection regulations.
When using content under a Creative Commons BY license, educators must:
Attribute the original creator
Pay a licensing fee
Obtain additional written permission
Use it only in noncommercial settings
CC BY licenses require attribution of the creator but allow use and adaptation, including commercial use, without extra fees or permissions. Noncommercial restrictions apply only to CC BY-NC variants.
Which principle distinguishes between protecting ideas and expressions under copyright law?
First sale doctrine
Moral rights
Idea-expression dichotomy
Patent exhaustion
The idea-expression dichotomy holds that ideas are free for all to use, while only the specific expression of those ideas can be protected by copyright. Other doctrines cover different IP aspects.
What is a recommended policy action for schools implementing AI tools in instruction?
Ban all AI use outright
Leave usage decisions entirely to individual teachers
Allow unrestricted use of student data
Develop clear usage guidelines and provide training
Establishing guidelines and training supports responsible AI adoption, ensuring legal compliance and ethical use. Bans or unrestricted use risk stifling innovation or violating rights.
A teacher uses an AI summarizer to condense textbook chapters into study guides, but the summaries closely mirror the original phrasing. What is the primary copyright concern?
Lack of moral rights attribution
Breach of student privacy
Substantial similarity causing infringement
Violation of patent law
Summaries that are too faithful to the source may infringe due to substantial similarity in expression. Effective summaries must add new expression or secure permission.
A vendor's terms state that any content uploaded becomes their property and may be used to train future models. What should an educational institution do to protect its materials?
Assume terms are non-negotiable
Negotiate terms to retain rights or opt-out clauses
Upload all materials to improve AI accuracy
Ignore the terms and proceed
Institutions should negotiate or seek amendments to retain ownership and prevent inadvertent transfer of rights. Accepting unfavorable terms can compromise legal control over materials.
When balancing innovation with legal compliance, which strategy best supports educators deploying new AI applications?
Prioritize rapid adoption over policy
Establish iterative policy reviews with stakeholder input
Avoid AI to eliminate all legal risk
Allow vendors to set all usage rules
Iterative policy development involving stakeholders ensures both innovation and adherence to legal and ethical standards. Relying solely on vendors or avoiding AI can hinder progress or leave risks unaddressed.
An AI model trained on copyrighted artworks generates derivative images. For commercial use, what must a user consider?
Fair use automatically covers commercial art
Potential infringement and the need for licenses
Only the model ownership matters, not training data
Derivative works are always public domain
Commercial use of derivative works trained on copyrighted material may infringe unless proper licenses are obtained or a valid fair use defense applies. Training data rights remain critical.
A professor assigns students to use generative AI to draft essays. To ensure ethical and legal practice, which action is most important?
Allowing students to submit AI work unchanged
Requiring students to submit prompts only
Teaching students to verify facts and cite sources
Prohibiting citation of AI outputs
Educators must teach students to critically evaluate AI outputs, verify factual accuracy, and properly cite any sources or generated content to maintain academic integrity and respect IP.
