In his article, Todd explores some of the legal issues surrounding code that is generated by AI and available through CPAN, and whether or not these AI-generated contributions are eligible for copyright protection and/or a legal license. He also cautions maintainers about the use of black box LLMs, which do not make public their training data, and encourages the Perl community to develop guidelines for the proper protection of the Perl software ecosystem from future disputes arising from improper use of code generated by LLMs.
