AI vs the Law

We hope your week has been better than the poor AI, who found out its picture is not human-looking enough to be copyrighted. In other news, we take a look at:

😎 Intel’s bold moves in the chip manufacturing world

The Artificial Intelligence revolution is present in almost every aspect of life. From analytics to entertainment (like gaming), AI is creeping into segments previously reserved for humans, even as ‘spiritual’ as art.

The recent boom of AI-generated appliances to paint pictures, write music or write poems led to an interesting patenting case, which had its finale last week. The inventor of an AI program called the Creativity Machine, Stephen Thaler, tried to copyright a picture created by his program. “A Recent Entrance to Paradise” is a picture made almost entirely by Creativity Machine’s algorithm without humans’ help. However, the United States Copyright Office decided that the intellectual property of a machine cannot be protected by law as “human authorship” is a prerequisite to copyright protection.

The proliferation of AI also brings almost cyberpunk-ish questions about the proper regulations of using an AI. Europen Commission and the UK government are in the middle of deciding the future of AI appliances, debating over the use of technologies such as facial recognition and proper classification of artificial intelligence based on the possible threat to the human race (!).

The closer we get to the actualisation of metaverse promise, the more nagging these questions become. There is little doubt that AI will play a key role in creating, maintaining, and everyday interactions with the metaverse space. Artificial Intelligence will be the beating heart of the future of social interactions, from advertising to gaming and customer care. So we better figure out how we should be handling it before it happens.
