Who owns an AI idea? OpenAi vs Meta

Here’s a question for you to ponder: who owns an AI idea?

If I go in and ask AI to create a business concept for me based on several criteria that I give, does AI or the company that owns the AI then own that idea?

If I ask AI to generate for me a story that has its own style on a topic that I choose and so forth, does the AI company then own the rights to that story, or is that story mine because I’m the one who came up with the idea?

To date, ss far as we know, none of the AI companies have tried to assert their right to the ideas created by their artificial intelligence. In fact, most of their usage guidelines say anything you create belongs to you and that you’re simply using their tools.

But it really does beg the question: if I create a business concept agent and then someone goes in and plugs in some data and comes up with an idea, who really owns that idea ?

I believe what we’re going to find is that it would be the same as releasing a student into the wild. The professors who were teaching Mark Zuckerberg at the time that he created Facebook do not have a legal right to Facebook because they were teaching Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg used his worries and concerns and code that had already been written in languages that already existed to create something new. That’s precisely what AI is being asked to do, where the creativity comes from a human and the AI has the tools.

What will happen if, for example, ChatGPT comes up with a trillion-dollar business idea? Will OpenAI, hypothetically, be able to assert its right to some portion of that idea and the money that it generated because their AI generated the idea?
