If you used AI to write some software, who owns the result? The laws are still being clarified but are settling along the lines of a 2021 recommendation from the Canadian agency Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED): "Ownership belongs to the person who arranged for the work to be created. Ownership and copyright are only applicable to works produced by humans, and thus, the resultant code would not be eligible for copyright protection. A new 'authorless' set of rights should be created for AI-generated works." Of course it's not quite that simple, because there's also the question of who is liable for 'authorless' code. And also, most AI-generated code is hybrid: the AI produces a concept, but it is then worked over by the human to tailor the result.
