AI copyright anxiety will hold back creativity

technologyreview.com Nitin Nohria 2026-03-15 10:00:00

During a later visit to a Picasso exhibit in Milan, I came across a famous informational diagram by the art historian Alfred Barr, mapping how modernist movements like Cubism evolved from earlier artistic traditions. Picasso is often held up as one of modern art’s most original and influential figures, but Barr’s chart made plain the many artists he drew from—Goya, El Greco, Cézanne, African sculptors. This made me wonder: If a generative AI model had been fed all those inputs, might it have pro

In just a few months, Donald Trump’s second presidential term has drastically reshaped the United States federal government and moved to consolidate the power of the executive branch. At the behest of the president, numerous federal agencies have undertaken aggressive, invasive initiatives to crack down on immigration, police speech, investigate political opponents, curtail US public health efforts and emergency preparedness, and more.

BMW ConnectedDrive lets me control my returned rental car (Sixt)

Last week I rented a BMW from Sixt (Italy). The default rental driver profile had Bluetooth disabled, so I created my own BMW ID, paired it with the car, removed the existing profile, and even triggered software updates. When returning the car, I told the Sixt representative that I had linked my BMW ID — they assured me that the vehicle would be reset.
