So here's the scenario: an AI is used to combine a photo with a van Gogh painting; the author then tries to claim it as copyrighted content. Is it? "The United States Copyright Review Board refused to register it." In Canada, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) accepted it, but the case is before the courts. David Fewer, who helped file the case, says one of the aims is "to lay 'down in bedrock' that only humans are authors under the law." According to Fewer, "It's important at this point, just before this stuff enters the commercial zone in a really serious way, that we get rules down." If this case succeeds - and there are good reasons why it should - then there will be a flood of copyright-free artificially generated learning resources hitting the internet. Ready?
