    On one hand, great; will that extent to software development, architecture and other fields?

    On the other hand, sounds like the first step to, when AI and androids reach self awareness and conscience, legally keep them enslaved.

      When an AI can make that argument for themselves, then the law can change, until then, a human must be part of the creative process to hold copyright.

      A classic example is the monkey selfie. There’s no copyright because there was no human involved in the creation of the selfie.

          It’s a good thing that AI isn’t capable of being oppressed or enslaved. Because it’s currently less AI and more, janky code that does a thing, and sometimes does it correctly.

              And for the next 40 years it will likely remain science fiction.

              So there’s no point in fucking up all the case law for something that doesn’t exist. Seriously, copyright needs to be cut down, not expanded further. It’s already the life of the author plus 70 years. How does that even work? Copyright is meant to get humans to produce more creative works, so how the fuck does that work after death?

              The answer is, corporations that don’t die. They want more control, and want AI to make shit, so they don’t have to pay real people to do it.

              So no. No copyright for theoretical AI. no copyright for monkeys with names assigned by some third party. Just stop trying to expand copyright.
