Ars Technica – Law and Disorder Techdirt The Art Law Blog
While researching AI and computational creativity for a paper I'm writing I realized the site for the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology Digest was down, so my paper "Artificial Intelligence and Authorship Rights" was inaccessible. I'm posting the penultimate draft here until such a time as they have it back up and want this…
Go Ask A.L.I.C.E. : The Inner Workings is amazing, one more open house and dramatic showing tomorrow (Thurs. Sept. 20) starting at 6:00pm in room 251 in the Harvard Science Center, and you should definitely go.
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…
All the pieces are out there. Self-managing systems. Autonomatons. Artificially intelligent creativity. Bots and spiders crawling over the web to gather and process information. 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…
At what point will a program make a break from its human origins and become something independent and just plain weird? While self-aware artificially intelligent robots may still be pretty far off, there are some very strange things going on in experimental computing. As Dorothy might say, “I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.”…
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 law tends to struggle as different technologies are introduced, but usually just tweaks the existing system, spins off some justification and calls it good. Many of the same issues bubbling up due to creative AI machines were addressed in 1884, when the Supreme Court upheld the power of Congress to extend copyright to photography.…
