Eran Kahana Interviewed for Spark Podcast on Artificial Intelligence Art

April 10, 2019

Eran Kahana, counsel in Maslon's Business & Securities and Technology, IP & Media Groups, was interviewed on an April 7, 2019 episode of a CBC’s Spark podcast titled, "Artist Shares Credit with AI Collaborator." The episode discusses AI art and the questions that it has raised regarding the nature of art, creativity, and authorship.

"Under US Law, authorship of the work is by a human, an AI entity cannot be recognized as an owner of an intellectual property right,” Eran states on the podcast. He adds, “The machine is just a tool, that is all it is. The tool can be phenomenal but it’s just a tool that is used by a human being."
