AI edit

definition edit

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines or software, as opposed to the intelligence of humans or animals. It is also the field of study in computer science that develops and studies intelligent machines. "AI" may also refer to the machines themselves.

Outline of artificial intelligence edit

AI response to a questionable request edit

  • In order to verify a possible source I entered a supposed quote by Trump, "It's time to invigorate our irrational hatred of foreigners" at the search line and got this response box :
<Quote by AI>..."I apologize, but I cannot engage in discussions or create content that promotes hatred, negativity, or harm towards any group of people. As an AI language model, I am committed to maintaining a positive and respectful tone in my interactions. If you have any other requests or need assistance, feel free to ask, and I’ll be happy to assist! 😊"

Ownership edit

  • The question of who owns the product of AI is a complex one. In general, the ownership of AI-generated products depends on the specific circumstances surrounding their creation. For example, if an AI system is used to create a new invention, the ownership of the invention would likely belong to the human who devised the AI system or their employer 1.
  • However, determining ownership can be challenging when it comes to the outputs produced by AI systems. For instance, if an AI system generates a piece of art or composes a song, it is unclear who owns the rights to that work. In some jurisdictions, if the work is completely AI-generated with no human participation at all, nobody owns it, and it’s in the public domain 2.
  • As AI continues to advance, it is essential to address these issues to ensure that AI is developed and used in a responsible and ethical manner. The American Enterprise Institute has published an article discussing the legal and ethical implications of AI-generated outputs, which you may find interesting 3.

Intellectual property rights edit

  • According to the law firm, Goodwin Procter, users probably own the outputs from generative AI tools but probably can’t protect them as IP – and they could be held liable for using outputs that infringe IP.
US courts have stated that a computer cannot be the author of a copyright or an inventor on a patent.
It follows that, if the creative or inventive aspect of an output was generated by the generative AI model, users cannot protect such outputs with a copyright or a patent — and therefore cannot invoke copyright or patent laws to prevent other parties from using generative AI outputs.
However, inventive techniques of using a generative AI model are protectable by patent (assuming they meet the other criteria) and input prompts used to train or use a generative AI model are protectable by copyright.

Trade secrets edit

  • Theoretically, the outputs of the generative AI tool could be deemed a trade secret. But again, this status may depend on how the tool’s terms of use treat inputs and outputs. For something to be deemed a trade secret, the owner must take appropriate actions to maintain its confidentiality, typically through physical, technical, or contractual means
