Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is, simply put, “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines.” Quintessential examples of artificially intelligent machines include Hal from 2001 Space Odyssey or the robots from Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot series of short stories. Many of the things we think of when we think of true artificial intelligence — such as…

Different paradigms that incorporate pseudorandomness, machine learning, and/or program machines to behave like people. ARE there digital entities out there now that call into question everything we know about authorship and…

While traditional AI frameworks resulted in machines which are little more than tools or puppets, dynamic and self-regulating systems are arising which can autonomously act or produce content. It may be awhile before we see a digital entity that we recognize as being self-aware, yet computers that think for themselves are already among us.

The current copyright framework is becoming obsolete as we try to make a digital world run on an analog legal system. The Copyright Act covers “original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be visually perceived, either directly or with the aid of…
