 Howdy. I wrote a piece for Wired, hoping to parse out the challenges of creating effective terms and policy around AI.

 @86339b4c GREAT piece: eloquent, kind, and deeply informed. 

As your fellow member of #sagaftra I think your heart is in the right place.  But I think your focus is not. 

You’re right: Hollywood can’t be counted on to police itself. Therefore Federal rulings and legislation must be a primary focus. 

I’m encouraged by the USPTO‘s recent decision to only grant inventorship to a HUMAN. More laws are needed to help make that distinction.
