The Question of Ownership in the Gen AI Age

Ownership is a complex concept that is being challenged in the Gen AI age. One example is the idea of owning light, as mentioned in an ENM Banks novel. This notion of ownership extends to various forms of intellectual property, such as music copyright and photography. The question arises: what does it mean to own something? There are different cases of ownership, ranging from narrow cases where someone can answer questions that have already been answered, to broad cases where AI models are trained on vast amounts of text and become better at logic and problem-solving. The issue of ownership becomes more complicated when considering payment. If AI models can provide valuable insights and services based on their training, should they be paid and how would this work?
