August 7, 2023, SuperRare Sessions, Spotify, Could AI get you sued?
"This week on SuperRare Sessions, we discussed the legal implications of creating using AI.It’s no secret that AI has received a lot of bad press. Artists who work with AI have unfairly been labeled as lazy and untalented by people who accuse them of art theft, people who have largely been misled by clickbaity headlines and commentators who care more about likes and shares than reporting accurate information.
We’re not interested in adding fuel to the misinformation fire. Instead, it’s important for the future–to discuss the reality of AI art, its legal implications, and possible solutions, both on and off chain.
We we’re lucky enough to be joined by Kyle Smith, Stephen Kelly, and Elizabeth Rothman from LexDAO, a decentralized legal guild whose members are dedicated to shaping the next generation of law."

Artificial Intelligence is slowly but surely seeping into our creative lives. ChatGPT writes our prompts, Midjourney draws our art and, perhaps soon, MusicLM will create our music. Just last month, however, the United States Copyright Office refused to register AI-generated images as part of a broader creative work. Human, creative intervention being at the core of the copyright regime, the current state of affairs can only be described as... Artificial Intelligence and Copyright: Uncomfortable Bedfellows.

March 17, 2023. California Lawyer Daily Journal, Determining human creative control in AI-generated works is futile
AI systems are challenging traditional notions of authorship and creativity and denying copyright protection to these works solely because a human was not involved in their creation, which could hinder the growth and development of AI technologies and may be contrary to the broader goals of copyright law.

March 1, 2023, European Intellectual Property Review (EIPR), AI-Generated Output and Intellectual Property Rights: Takeaways from the Artificial Inventor Project
45 E.I.P.R., Issue 4 (2023) Recent technological advances have taken creative and inventive AI systems from academic novelties to meaningful drivers of commercial value. This has increased the importance of dealing with longstanding but unresolved legal questions about the treatment of AI-generated works and inventions created without traditional human authors and inventors. This article explores these questions in the context of the Artificial Inventor Project, which includes a series of pro bono legal test cases seeking intellectual property rights for AI-generated output.

To date, the patent applications have only been subject to final, non-appealable outcomes in two jurisdictions: Australia, where the patents have been denied, and South Africa, where the patents have been granted. In Germany, New Zealand and Taiwan, the applications are also in the process of judicial appeals after having been denied by patent offices, according to a summary written by Abbott and attorney Elizabeth Rothman.

January 23, 2023, SSRN, Disrupting Creativity: Copyright Law in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
This Article argues that American copyright law is, and has been traditionally, primarily about benefiting the public interest rather than benefiting authors directly. As a result, AI-generated works are precisely the sort of thing the system was designed to protect. Protection will encourage people to develop and use creative AI which will result in the production and dissemination of new works. Taken further, attributing authorship to AI when an AI has functionally done the work of a traditional author will promote transparency, efficient allocations of rights, and even counterintuitively protect human authors. AI-generated works also promise to radically impact other fundamental tenets of copyright law such as infringement, protection of style, and fair use. How the law should respond to AI activity has lessons more broadly for thinking about what rules should apply to people, machines, and other sorts of artificial authors.

December 12, 2022, Metaverse Safety Week, XRSI, “The Promised Land : Risks and Opportunities with Asset Ownership in Digital Economies”
Detail discussion includes the following: “In online environments, the ability to own assets can alter the interaction between individuals and organisations. This panel addresed the risks and benefits of transitioning to such a system, as well as whether or not consumers desire to own and control their assets, such as in games and social media profiles. In addition, the consequences of intellectual property legislation and the corporate response were also examined.”

The project’s data privacy fears were echoed by attorney Elizabeth Shubov, an emerging technology advisor at the consulting firm Cantellus Group. “Amazon will now have access to data on what we watch, read, eat, buy, ask Alexa, pharmaceuticals, and now primary care. There are some limits on data usage but not enough,” she tweeted. “Consumers need to be able to control their data.”

A handbook for doctors at all stages of practice.
The majority of American medical schools do not provide any formal education with regard to signing a contract to provide medical services. Despite the lengthy medical training process, the skills and language required for physicians to protect themselves legally while practicing medicine are not incorporated into the curriculum. As a result, physicians graduate unprepared to evaluate employment contracts upon entering the workforce.
