Copyright Law and AI: What is the Berne Convention?
by ryangtanaka
When you visit other countries, many will share their "concerns" about AI technologies and where it's going, but you don't see the kind of uproar and outright hostility around it like you see here in the US. American exceptionalism? Yes, but not in the way most people think - it actually comes from one source: The Berne Convention. Long story short, artists in the US have it *exceptionally* bad compared to other countries, which explains the controversy, as well as all of the "it's...complicated" feedback from lawyers we've gotten around teia.cafe's blockchain copyright registration feature. Our system works fine in most countries where the conventions are followed - it just act as evidence in court where there otherwise would be none. In the US, though, it's in a "grey" area. This is a battle that is just getting started and creatives everywhere will have to pay attention to these issues to make sure they are protected, even in the age of AI. This isn't about AI art vs traditional art - this is art vs the law. Music: "The Third Web - Chapter V (Interlude/Transition)" by Ryan Tanaka (OBJKT#754267) https://teia.cafe
