This item consists of an academic research aper titled "Creative AI: The Authorship Dilemma," written by Chloe Thierstein for the course INF302: Integrative Approaches to Technology and Society at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. The paper explores the concept of authorship in the context of creative artifical intelligence (AI), arguing that current forms of creative AI cannot be considered independent artists due to their reliance on human input, intention, and narrative-building. Drawing on scholarship from media theory, cybernetics, and art criticism, the paper examines anthropomorphism, the role of co-creation, and the ethical and copyright implications of AI-generated artwork. It includes references to specific case studies and engages with academic literature to critically assess the "authorship dilemma" surrounding creative AI.
