Ask HN: Can I publish AI-Generated of YouTube videos without IP Issues? I used GenAI to create an audio summary of several YouTube videos, incorporating transcripts and key points from the content. The final output is an audio overview that sounds like a human summarizing the videos. Before uploading this to the internet, I’m wondering about potential intellectual property (IP) concerns. Specifically: - Does summarizing YouTube videos (without using direct quotes) count as fair use? - If the AI-generated summary is transformative, does it reduce legal risk? - Would citing the original video creators help, or do I need explicit permission? - Are there any known cases where platforms like Spotify or YouTube took action against AI-generated summaries? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in copyright law, content creation, or platform policies. |
