Canada Calls for AI Input With Copyright Needs Still Unmet - Publishing Perspectives

Today Panzer found a post about another country gathering information about AI and copyright issues.
  No it can't think and create new stories.
According to the post by Porter Anderson, Canada's government is collecting input on AI and copyright and their impact on artists, writers and publishers. One issue already brought up addresses the fact humans as the creators of new ideas and material should be granted copyright protection; but, since AI cannot create new ideas and material. it should not be granted copyrights. Links to other information about the subjects in the post are included.
 Panzer says, "Let's hope deciding what to do about AI and copyright doesn't take as long as fixing the Copyright Modernization Act is taking."
