Abstract
The authors address the legal issues relating to the creation and use of language models. The article begins with an explanation of the development of language technologies.
The authors analyse the technological process within the framework copyright, related rights and personal data protection law. The authors also cover commercial use of language models.
The authors' main argument is that legal restrictions applicable to language data containing copyrighted material and personal data usually do not apply to language mod-els. Language models are not normally considered derivative works.
Due to a wide range of language models, this position is not absolute.
