I was at a recent poetry reading, of all things, at an AI conference. The poet used AI to develop her poetry, and it was amazing and fascinating and a pleasure to listen to. That's creativity enabled by AI. That poet got to copyright her work. The other poems that were inputs into the overall database at that point did not get to benefit from their copyright.
The reason I tell that story is to recognize that for cultural creativity, going forward, there are reasons to want a very open use of these AI systems. There's incredible creativity coming out of these AI systems—not the [Inaudible—Editor], to be clear. One of the things I love about the bill itself is that it's so clear that humans make decisions and not machines, so the creativity is human creativity enabled by AI systems.
In the process, though, we need to make sure that when copyright is violated in a particular way—for example, it's clear that you were trying to mimic a particular artist's style—it gets protected.
