Generative Artificial Intelligence as Hypercommons: Ethics of Authorship and Ownership
提出生成式人工智能依赖一个由集体劳动和输入构成的“超公共领域”,这可能导致学术作者身份危机,侵蚀学术生产中的道德主体性。
Abstract In this editorial essay, we argue that Generative Artificial Intelligence programs (GenAI) draw on what we term a “hypercommons”, involving collectively produced inputs and labour that are largely invisible or untraceable. We argue that automatizing the exploitation of common inputs, in ways that remix and reconfigure them, can lead to a crisis of academic authorship in which the moral agency involved in scholarly production is increasingly eroded. We discuss the relationship between the hypercommons and authorship in terms of moral agency and the ethics of academic production, speculating on different responses to the crisis of authorship as posed by GenAI.
