In this episode, Zvi Rosen, Assistant Professor of Law at the Southern Illinois University Simmons Law School and incoming Associate Professor of Law at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law, discusses his draft article "AI Authorship: A Case of History Repeating Itself?" Rosen explains how copyright law and the Copyright Office have wrestled with concept of copyright in computer-generated works, beginning with the first computer-generated works submitted for copyright registration in the 1950s. He argues that the Copyright Office of the 1950s and 1960s provided answers to those vexing questions that are still relevant today in relation to AI-generated works.
