The increasing prevalence of powerful AI models that can run locally on personal devices poses significant challenges to traditional copyright enforcement. These models, particularly those originating from China, are often open-source and open-weight, allowing for widespread modification and use. This trend complicates existing legal frameworks, such as the EU Copyright Directive, which has already faced inconsistent implementation and proved difficult to adapt to new technologies like generative AI. The ability to run advanced AI capabilities on personal hardware could shift innovation centers and set new standards, further straining copyright systems that were historically focused on individual acts of copying.
