What if a computer program itself creates a copyright protected work?

Posted by V-M Heller on May 07, 2002 at 20:11:47:

For instance, when talking about some sort of artificial
intelligence? Who should be considered as the author
of the work made by program itself? The person who
created the software perhaps? There is no problem when
someone (a real person) creates a work using some
computer program: then that person should be considered
as the author, but what if the program is so developed
that it is able to create works on it own.

I'm writing my theses about these problems.

p.s. Greatings from Finland!
