Does the First Amendment Confirm a Right to Compute? The Future of AI May Depend on It
The first essay discussed in the podcast explores the question of whether there is a First Amendment right to compute in the context of AI. The essay highlights the complexities raised by calls to regulate AI through government-imposed limits and examines the expressive aspects of computer code and AI algorithms. It also contemplates the implications of government regulation on the training of AI models and the potential impact on artistic expression.
The Copyright Office is making a mistake on AI-generated art
The second essay focuses on the controversy surrounding AI-generated art and its copyright protection. It discusses the US Copyright Office's position on AI-generated art and draws parallels to the treatment of photography in copyright law. The author argues that AI-generated art should be recognized as a result of human creativity and suggests that the copyright office should adopt a similar approach to AI-generated art as it does for photography.

The third essay explores the author's perspective on the use of books in training Meta's AI language model. The author reflects on the controversy surrounding the use of copyrighted works without permission and the notion of permission in the context of authorship. The essay raises questions about the role of authors in the age of AI and reflects on the evolving nature of language, creativity, and authorship in the digital era.
