Why we need to free AI from the chains of copyright once and for all⁠

Enrique Dans argues for freeing AI from copyright restrictions, asserting that current copyright laws stifle innovation and protect corporate interests more than artists. He views AI's creative process as synthesis and recombination, akin to human artistry, rather than simple plagiarism. Dans criticizes the notion that AI steals creativity and suggests open-source development as a solution, warning against licensing agreements that favor Big Tech. The author points to legal precedents and evolving viewpoints on copyright, advocating for a system that encourages collaboration and open access to knowledge. Dans calls for a shift away from outdated rules that limit AI's potential as an ally in artistic creation. Ultimately, the piece promotes embracing an open and evolving culture by rethinking copyright's role in the digital age.This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «Why we need to free AI from the chains of copyright once and for all«
