As artificial intelligence continues to reshape our world, the question of legality surrounding generative tools—like large language models (LLMs) and AI models that produce audio and video content—grows increasingly pressing. 

In this episode of the Invisible Machines, Robb and Josh delve deep into this topic with Ed Klaris, Managing Partner at Klaris Law, CEO of KlarisIP, and an adjunct professor at Columbia Law School. With decades of experience in copyright and IP law surrounding technology—being an in-house counsel at ABC/Disney and a Senior Vice President at Condé Nast publishing—Ed brings a seasoned perspective to the discussion.

Together, they explore whether using generative tools is lawful and discuss how copyright law may evolve alongside AI technologies. As we wait for landmark decisions that will determine the fate of these tools, this conversation with Ed Klaris provides timely insights and plenty of food for thought.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in AI, technology law, and the balance between innovation and legal boundaries. Tune in to discover Ed Klaris’s take—some of which might surprise you!

What is consciousness? This question has baffled the traditional physicalist approach to science. Part of the reason is that reductive physicalism is flawed, as it fails to effectively frame complexification, systems, processes, and the difference between objective and subjective epistemologies. This article introduces a new philosophical approach called “Extended Naturalism,” which extends both our view of the physical world and our understanding of the mental domain and enables the puzzle to be effectively framed so that we can achieve a coherent picture of the whole.

Understanding Consciousness
  • This article provides an overview of a new approach to understanding consciousness called “Extended Naturalism.” Extended naturalism shifts the basic framework for understanding matter and mind from a traditional “physicalist” perspective to a holistic naturalistic perspective.
  • This perspective alters the grammar of science, nature, mind, and knowledge and affords a new way to coherently align consciousness with the matter.
  • The article explains how Extended Naturalism is different from materialism, idealism, panpsychism, and dualism, and allows us to address both the question of what consciousness is and how it works in the natural world.
