January 18, 2023, Disrupting Creativity: Copyright Law in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Fla. L. Rev. Vol. 75, Issue 6, 2023 Ryan Abbott and Elizabeth Rothman This Article argues that American copyright law is, and has traditionally been, 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 aims 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 that functionally does 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.

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.

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.
