hmm, what’s the relation between AI and the copyright mania? — BayleShanks

well, indirect. AI methods are being used already for DataMining? purposes in huge amounts of data, wich invades privacy. This will grow with time. The copyright mania could eventually lead to the very unfavourable “solution” of governmental control over all data even on our private machines disabling us to do anything against it by law. – DavidAndel

sounds pretty indirect, indeed :) – BayleShanks

I think that a very strong link between AI and copyright is to be found in the wording of many copyright notices in books, journals, etc. “No part of this publication may be … stored in a retrieveal, … transmitted … electronic …”. This means that my AI artifact (I have built a chatbot) is not permitted to read such books, journals, etc. It probably isn’t allowed to watch films either. A clear case of discrimination against AI entities !! – GL7

that’s a good point… we tend to assume that if we make this or that agent for doing stuff with online information, it will have access to the same information as humans, but that may not be the case. – BayleShanks

Here's a link to the comp.ai post

I also emailed a very slighly modified version (added “much greater” to the first sentence in the 3rd paragraph, removed redundant “current” in same sentence, added “Feel free to forward this message to anyone you think may be qualified & interested.”) of that post to some people I know & a few people I know of here at Stanford.

I’ve taken to calling AIWiki a “collaborative A.I. research encyclopaedia” when introducing it. We aim to be more than just an encyclopaedia, as the comp.ai post indicates, but what we aim for is hard to describe.

– BayleShanks

Do we even know what we aim for exactly? For me it’s an evolving project very much depending on the people which take part in it. Surely I’ve got my own idea, but I don’t want to reduce the wiki to that. – DavidAndel

My (very limited) social intuition tells me that busy people won’t take time to contribute to a random project unless they can quickly figure out what it’s about. So, when describing the project to others, I’m pretty focused, especially on the encyclopaedia aspect. I don’t mean to limit the project to this, but I don’t think that that will happen. I think other aspects to the project will evolve naturally once AIWiki is a hub for some segment of the research community. – BayleShanks

I guess you’re right. – DavidAndel
