안드로이드는 양의 꿈을 꾸는가 -인공지능 창작물의 저작자에 대한 저작권법적 검토-

Ever since John McCarthy defined the definition of artificial intelligence in 1956, the technology has developed. With the support of machine learning technology, artificial intelligence even creates artistic works where only human could accomplish, or thought to be. The problem rises on whether to protect the work made from artificial intelligence, or even acknowledge the authorship to the machine. There are many opinions on the issue; considering computer generated works as the public domain, giving authorship to the user/developer, or even to the artificial intelligence itself, and considering the work as made-for-hire. But yet, it is too soon to give personhood to the computer. Work made-for-hire theory does not have a ground to stand with the same problem. Acknowledging the developer as an author gives too much incentive to the developer. However, it is the user who has intent, decides and gives order to the artificial intelligence to create such work. Then it is also possible to blame the user when copyright infringement occurs during computer's work. The user is very much alike as a ‘traditional author’, with the intent to create.
