Artificial Intelligence: A Battle for Copyright and Autonomy By Ezekiel OluwasalvageArchibong
AI has had a relatively short life, but it has already produced a significant amount of scholarship and commentary on the subject.

The Goading Rate of Artificial Intelligence as the Panacea for Redundancy – Adedoyin Fadare
There is no truer essence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) if it is defined as an attempt to replicate or simulate human intelligence. There is no doubt that AI has become a catchall term for applications that perform complex tasks that once required human input.
