Generative AI tools can create new content, such as text, computer code, images, audio, sound, and video, in response to a user’s prompt, often in the form of a short written description of the desired output. Generative AI tools are based on machine learning, trained using enormous amounts of data.[1] Generative AI tools are built on a system of inputs and outputs. First, the tool goes through a machine learning period whereby it is trained to generate predictive models and creative outputs through a large data set, often varied and diverse but tailored to the goal of the tool (i.e., customer service, generating scientific or marketing models, etc.). For in-house tools, this can be done with the company’s own data; for larger tools such as ChatGPT, this is done with the creator’s data set.[2] Once the tool has been trained, the individual user “inputs” a short prompt for the tool to synthesize and produce an “output.” Inputs are often retained on the servers controlled by the company that supports the tool, for monitoring of the tool’s performance and, in some cases, continued learning. The “outputs” are created by combining the machine learning during the training period with the inputs to produce an output.[3]
Law Glossary
Social media law is a developing area of the law that includes both criminal and civil aspects. Generally, it covers legal issues related to user-generated content and the online sites that host or transmit it. Some of the special legal concerns raised by social media include privacy, including the rights of both social media users and third parties (for example, when photos are posted and used online without the permission of the people depicted); defamation; advertising law; and intellectual property (IP) law. Material shared on social media can sometimes infringe on a copyright, a trademark, or other IP rights.

Offshore wind or OSW is a term that refers to the generation of energy using wind turbines installed over bodies of water. Unlike onshore wind farms, offshore farms typically provide higher energy production because much larger turbines can be installed offshore than on land due to stronger and more consistent winds in marine environments. The energy created by offshore wind power is a renewable energy source and produces no greenhouse gas emissions, so it is considered an important component in the transition to net-zero emissions. Offshore wind projects are regulated at both the state and federal level including environmental regulations, safety standards, and permitting and licensing requirements. The Jones Act, which regulates maritime commerce in the United States, plays a critical role in how offshore wind projects are planned and constructed in U.S. waters.
