This seminar seeks to shift to some extent the emphasis of the current discussion on copyright and AI. It stresses the primary, purely economic concerns behind the drive for AI-product protection which are little considered. Furthermore, it underlines the difference between true human creativity and AI-imitation which cannot be a basis for copyright protection and authorship of the deviser of the AI-machine.
