Ethical/Copyright Concerns

The software’s reliance on vast training datasets introduces risks of using copyrighted materials without consent, potentially leading to intellectual property disputes. Additionally, issues of transparency and accountability arise, as users may not fully understand how design decisions are generated or who is responsible for errors. These challenges highlight the need for clearer regulations and ethical standards in AI-assisted design.
