If ChatGPT produces AI-generated code for your app, who does it really belong to?

From a contractual point of view, most companies producing AI-generated code will, "as with all of their other IP, deem their provided materials -- including AI-generated code -- as their property."

OpenAI (the company behind ChatGPT) does not claim ownership of generated content. According to their terms of service, "OpenAI hereby assigns to you all its right, title, and interest in and to Output."

Clearly, though, if you're creating an application that uses code written by an AI, you'll need to carefully investigate who owns (or claims to own) what.
