It risks privatizing shared cultural knowledge while sidelining independent artists and creators. Tech giants and publishing houses are already cashing in, striking lucrative licensing deals that leave smaller players \u2013 grassroots innovators, authors and musicians \u2013 locked out. The result? A shrinking cultural commons and an amplification of algorithmic bias, where only the largest, most corporate-friendly datasets shape the future of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Craig\u2019s critique goes beyond the mechanics of copyright enforcement. She challenges the very foundation of the system: the idea that copyright law actually protects creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCopyright casts the author\u2019s work as an alienable commodity,\u201d she explains, noting that the current framework disproportionately benefits intermediaries \u2013 the platforms, publishers and corporations that control distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strengthening copyright, she argues, won\u2019t fix this inherent imbalance. Instead, she calls for a more radical approach: robust public funding for the arts, stronger labour protections for creators and tax policies that support cultural production, not just corporate profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Craig\u2019s most provocative proposals? Leaving AI-generated works firmly in the public domain. In an era where machines can churn out endless content with the click of a button, she sees this proposal as essential to preserving the value of human creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProtecting AI-generated outputs with exclusive rights would create unnecessary incentives to mass-produce AI content,\u201d she warns. For Craig, copyright should be reserved for human authorship \u2013 a fundamentally social and dialogic act that no algorithm can truly replicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This position puts her at odds with some international jurisdictions, including the U.K. and South Africa, that have already created legal provisions for AI-generated works. But in Canada, where copyright law still emphasizes human authorship, Craig sees an opportunity to draw a clear line. She envisions a future where courts and policymakers prioritize transparency, perhaps even requiring a system for registering and authenticating human-authored works to distinguish them from AI-made imitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Craig also defends the use of copyrighted material for training AI under the principle of fair dealing \u2013 a cornerstone of Canadian copyright law designed to balance creators\u2019 rights with the public interest. While she agrees that AI-generated outputs that closely mimic existing works should be considered copyright infringement, she cautions against giving copyright holders control over how their work is used as data. To do so, she argues, would be to transform copyright into a tool for stifling innovation, rather than fostering creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stakes are undeniably high. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in our creative lives, courts and lawmakers face fundamental questions about authorship, originality and the very definition of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Craig\u2019s research asks society to confront a critical choice: prioritize corporate profits, or fight for a future where human creativity continues to flourish? As she puts it, \u201cWe need a copyright system that serves people \u2013 not corporations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Osgoode Hall Law School Professor Carys Craig
