Creatorship of AGI

What happens to copyright, patents, and creative ownership when AGI is no longer just a tool, but the thing doing the creating? In this meetup, we’ll discuss David Pedersen’s April 2026 paper, Creatorship of AGI, which argues that intellectual property law may not simply need updating for AGI, but may begin to collapse under it. From the “authorship void” to the concentration of power in a handful of compute-rich companies, this conversation explores whether AGI exposes deep contradictions at the heart of IP law itself. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion on AGI, law, incentives, creativity, and what ownership could mean in a future where human authorship is no longer the default.
