Can An AI Algorithm Copyright What It Creates?
The intersection of technology and law is not limited to the technology attorneys use in practice, legal AI (artificial intelligence), law firm IT support, etc.
The significant technological change occurring throughout our society will pose new and interesting legal questions.
This article presents a very interesting discussion about copyright law and artificial intelligence.
From the article:
“Imagine a future version of Deep Dream that is fully autonomous and sits by itself coming up with completely novel imagery that has never been seen by human eyes and which was not guided or suggested by any human. Who owns the rights to these images? If an art company uses such an algorithm to produce new works, can it copyright those works for itself or are the works entirely unprotectable? Or could the AI itself own those works and generate profit from them that it could use to improve itself?”
