9. Looking for media that has CC licences and that can or most likely can be used in accordance with Fair Use?
   Look for wikimedia commons and/or CC licensed material or .gov files since, in general, government files are in the public domain (https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/selected-internet/imagesources.html) including NASA (see here for more resources from NASA for educators https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html). However, some media and the logos are copyrighted but fall under fair use if you are using it for educational purposes.

11. AI and Copyright.....because common use of generative AI is such a relatively new practice, copyright and fair use is a bit of a grey area. Here are a few tidbits:
• Works created solely by artificial intelligence (AI) are not protected by copyright in the United States. This is because copyright law protects human creativity, and AI-generated works are not considered to be the product of human authorship.
  
  
• Many rights holders, including authors, artists, media companies, and music companies, have sued AI companies for using their work to train AI models.
  
  
• AI companies often defend themselves using the "fair use" doctrine, which allows the use of copyrighted material without permission in certain situations. A KEY factor is money! (NL)
  
  
12. Very recently, a case of Fair Use was decided in the courts NOT in favor of AI use of copyrighted material to train LLM (large language models - the "engines" that run AI results). Interested? Check it out: https://www.wired.com/story/thomson-reuters-ai-copyright-lawsuit/
