Recent successes in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have led to new technologies capable of generating high-quality code, natural language, and images. The next step is to integrate GenAI technology into products, a task typically conducted by software developers. Such product development always comes with a certain risk of liability. Within this article, we want to shed light on the current state of two such risks: data protection and copyright. Both aspects are crucial for GenAI. This technology deals with data for both model training and generated output. We summarize key aspects regarding our current knowledge that every software developer involved in product development using GenAI should be aware of to avoid critical mistakes that may expose them to liability claims.

翻译：生成式人工智能（GenAI）的最新成功催生了能够生成高质量代码、自然语言和图像的新技术。下一步是将GenAI技术集成到产品中，这一任务通常由软件开发者承担。此类产品开发始终伴随一定的责任风险。本文旨在阐明这两种风险——数据保护与版权——的当前状况。这两个方面对GenAI至关重要，因为该技术在模型训练和生成输出过程中均涉及数据处理。我们总结了基于当前认知的关键要点，每位参与GenAI产品开发的软件开发者都应了解这些内容，以避免可能招致责任索赔的重大失误。
