Artificial Intelligence & Copyright Economics
Artificial Intelligence & Copyright Economics
Artificial Intelligence Exists Because of Copyright Economics
Artificial intelligence did not emerge in isolation. It was built upon layers of copyrighted human intellectual capital.
These layers include:
- Software source code
- Engineering systems
- Scientific research
- Technical documentation
- Digital architectures
Every component of modern AI exists because creators were able to invest time and resources into developing intellectual capital protected by copyright.
Without copyright protection, there would be no software ownership.
Without software ownership, there would be no software industry.
Without a software industry, there would be no artificial intelligence.
Copyright Economics explains this relationship clearly:
Human creativity → Copyright protection → Intellectual capital → Technological systems → Artificial intelligence
Understanding copyright is essential to understanding the future of AI.
