Who owns the song you collaborated on with AI? An expert clarifies

 Artificial intelligence has the ability to enable all of us to become creators, but who owns the outcome?

The World Economic Forum has warned that copyright rules must evolve to keep pace with AI's capabilities.

A technology professor examines how AI is changing our notions – and laws – about intellectual property.

Who owns the AI we develop?

When considering the governance of generative AI, this is one of the most important policy and consumer protection challenges. Generative AI systems can be tuned to generate content in the style of a certain individual, rather than just generating new stuff in abstraction.

You have the ability to write new Beatles songs. You have the ability to write a poem like Maya Angelou. And, you know, at this point, technology begins to undermine a person's control over their creative process, over their intelligence.

Is it correct to suggest that our identities are at stake?

 believe that one's creative process is a crucial aspect of one's human capital as well as one's identity as a human. You know, you can spend decades getting really good at doing things a certain way, and you have an incentive to do so because you own it and can reap the benefits of all of that investment.

The problem is that a generative AI system can now take hundreds of examples of what an individual has made and begin to reproduce their creative process, thereby removing their human identity or a portion of their human capital.
