That being: where do you draw the line in terms of what constitutes electronic sentience? The short answer is nobody knows. Obviously presuming Deep Dream images to be the output of a strong AI or an otherwise sentient being is absurd, but it does raise a very good point. The article would do better to distinguish intuition from fact. That's _my_ intuition (possibly quite wrong!). But Deep Dream is not the author, and the programmers of Deep Dream are not the authors. Or maybe that doesn't require enough human creativity for a court, and if not, fine - the creators of the images that my instance of Deep Dream sourced to create its nightmare-scape are the authors-in-law. My intuition says that Deep Dream is a tool, and that by running the tool, I am the author-in-fact of the work. Is the logical owner of the copyright in the works

The question isn't about google versus operator, it's about whether or not we're going to continue investing in the madness of copyright for machines designed to mimic human brains, and if so when will it apply to ourselves - for we can't archive our own training set. Do we abandon copyright because of scale? Should the NNet operator not be required to keep the entire training set such that copyright can be traced? Do we invent an entire new industry on determining the probability that a particular image was used to train a NNet (and by how much it affected it), such that it's owner can claim royalties on anything the NNet produces? That a computer done it does not take ownership away from the creators of the two images.Ī NNet isn't trained with two images though, but millions.
This is essentially the same as doing it manually in photoshop. Now consider if you trained the NNet with the same two images, such that it was highly overtrained and basically produced a combined replica of the inputs. We can lay claim to the combined work, but we may not have consent of the original authors works to distribute thier work. Though maybe by then we'll be less obsessed with every idea having to have an owner, but that's neither here nor there.Ĭonsider if you took two copyrighted pictures and combined them in some way in photoshop.
This feels like it falls into the 'by machines without human intervention.' There's no meaningful contributions from a human.Īll that said this will eventually be an issue (hopefully) when machine intelligence actually takes off or human uploads become a viable operation. > In new guidance the USCO has ruled that only works created by a human can be copyrighted under US law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention. “The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants.” > “Because copyright law is limited to ‘original intellectual conceptions of the author,’ the Office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work,” said the US Copyright Office in its latest compendium of practices published Tuesday. It is affected by that case though because of the policy and guidelines it spawned.
