If an AI creates a work of art, who owns the copyright?

Eran Kahana, an intellectual-property lawyer at Maslon LLP and a fellow at Stanford Law School, doesn't believe we should award authorship to AIs. He explains that the reason IP laws exist is to "prevent others from using it and enabling the owner to generate a benefit. An AI doesn't have any of those needs. AI is a tool to generate those kinds of content." "Obviously not the computer", Kahana quips.
