Then how could it produce a copyrightable work? The Berne convention only applies to 'Nationals and residents' of a country. Therefore if a court has held that the robot produced copyrighted material, then the robot must be a person.

Copyright goes to the artist who set up the system and then selected the work, because that's the actual creative activity. Creators have always used tools. The tool isn't what gets copyright, no matter how elaborate the tools. Once the tools have consciousness, drive, and self-determination, we might think otherwise. But that's not where we are today.
