Siri-ously 2.0: What Artificial Intelligence Reveals about the First Amendment by Toni M. Massaro, Helen L. Norton, Margot E. Kaminski :: SSRN

The First Amendment may protect speech by strong Artificial Intelligence (AI). In this Article, we support this provocative claim by expanding on earlier work, addressing significant concerns and challenges, and suggesting potential paths forward. This is not a claim about the state of technology. Whether strong AI -- as-yet-hypothetical machines that can actually think -- will ever come to exist remains far from clear. It is instead a claim that discussing AI speech sheds light on key features of prevailing First Amendment doctrine and theory, including the surprising lack of humanness at its core.
