Endogenous Content Creation

Endogenous Content Creation refers to AI-generated content derived from the model's internal parameters rather than real-time external retrieval. This concept is central to the copyright debate: if AI generates content endogenously, the human creator's contribution may be insufficient to meet the 'originality' threshold required by the US Copyright Office and the EU AI Act. In a risk management context, this necessitates a clear distinction between AI-assisted human creativity and autonomous AI generation to manage intellectual property risks. This distinction is critical for compliance with the AI Act's transparency requirements and the EU AI Act's Article 17 regarding AI-generated content labeling.

Enterprise AI risk management involves three implementation steps: 1) Categorizing AI outputs into 'human-authored' and 'AI-autonomous'-based on the USCO's 'human authorship' standard. 2) Implementing AI-specific risk assessments as per ISO 42001 Clause 6.1.2 to identify copyright infringement risks arising from endogenous generation. 3) Establishing a human-in-the-loop verification process to ensure AI-generated content meets the legal threshold for copyrightability. For example, a Taiwan-based company using AI for marketing materials must be able to demonstrate human creative control to own the copyright of its AI-assisted campaigns, which can be measured by the percentage of AI-generated assets successfully registered under copyright law.

Taiwan enterprises face three primary challenges: First, the legal ambiguity of AI authorship under the Taiwan Copyright Act, which requires companies to implement a 'human-supervision'-based workflow to ensure copyright eligibility. Second, the risk of training data-related copyright infringement, which can be mitigated by using only licensed or public domain datasets, as per the EU AI Act's training data transparency requirements. Third, the difficulty in managing AI output-related trade secret leaks, requiring robust data-loss prevention (DLP) controls. The priority should be establishing an AI Governance Committee within 60 days to oversee AI output-human authorship-ratio and compliance monitoring.
