I have been giving some talks on my article, “Keeping ChatGPT a Trade Secret While Selling It Too,” which is now published in the Berkeley Technology Law Journal. The article addresses a legal puzzle: How can companies protect generative AI technology through trade secret law, while also selling new AI products to the public? I have gotten some really interesting questions from audience members on AI and trade secrecy. I thought I'd share them along with my answers. If you disagree with my answers or how I am characterizing the technology, I'd really love to hear your thoughts.
