Suppose there were an AI program that could write short stories indistinguishable from those produced by a human. Further assume that the AI operates independently of any human control and generates stories using rules it has discovered by "reading" human stories using machine learning. The creative process used by the machine is not unlike that used by a human. Does the law preclude stories created in that fashion from being copyright? And if they can be copyright, who is the author?
- wisty 15y agoIf a human purposely set the chain in motion, it's presumably the human's. If you made an AI with no intention to create literature, then its work would be uncopyrightable (public domain?). That's why your binaries are copyright, but the monkey's accidental photographs are not. If you write a chat bot, which interacts with (and learns with) other humans, it might be more interesting.
