With the growing spread of generative AI in the work context, new legal issues are arising. Anyone using AI applications in their day-to-day work must check which rules apply: for example, when handling personal data, the question of copyrights to AI-generated content or its labelling. There are also labour law aspects, liability issues and questions of co-determination, for example if AI is to be used by employees as a work tool. Existing regulations cannot always be easily transferred to new AI applications and new rules - such as the European AI Regulation (AI Regulation) - raise new questions when it comes to practical implementation.
The GenKI report "Rethinking the AI legal framework" discusses these questions and provides answers with solutions for fair AI law. The report contains three innovative thesis papers on data protection, remuneration and labelling. They emerged from three intensive future workshops on these topics with experts and users, whose discourse and findings are explained in detail in the report. It also contains interviews, reports and background articles from the project newsletter "prompt/", including on liability issues, the practical guidelines and the requirements and implementation of the KI-VO. In addition, the project team reflects on how the chosen mix of methods has proved successful in a self-observation exercise.

The project, which also produced the GenKI Report, is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
