The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has profound implications for improving human and computational productivity in the future. However, it also is an existential risk to human life because it could exceed human capabilities. As such, information about the technology, the direction of the development and its purpose is important. This c...

... highest level is called "Machine Consciousness," which is the ability to teach oneself and through a sort of a conscious mind. As marked in the figure 5, as of 2016 technology has reached the state of Machine Intelligence but has not yet reached Machine Consciousness. The following chapter will give an overview of the theory of the commons -including several definitions and distinctions between the common and public goods as well as pure and impure public goods. ...

... The present paper is not the first to advance the idea of treating the basic components of artificial intelligence as an intellectual common. Salameh (2017), in his Bachelor's thesis, studied the opportunities and challenges for society in treating artificial intelligence as a common. Similarly, Tzimas (2018) has briefly examined the same issues in relation to the principle of 'international law supremacy'. ...
Artificial intelligence technologies today employ techniques known as machine learning and deep learning, which apply datasets to a suitable mathematical or statistical technique known as an algorithm. This in turn produces a model that can be employed to predict an outcome, given a new set of data that was previously unseen by the model. The principle of common heritage of mankind, which has originated in the 19th century, promotes the concept that humanity as a whole has rights and responsibilities over territories or outer space. This study aims to advance the concept of treating the components of artificial intelligence as an intellectual common in the form of a common heritage of mankind, in order to promote the discovery and the development of more novel artificial intelligence applications for the benefit of people around the world. This work employs a mix of legal doctrinal research related to intellectual property law and conceptual theoretical discussion. The potential application of open access and open data licensing is discussed. The history of the common heritage of mankind is covered, and the potential benefit of recognizing basic artificial intelligence components as a common heritage of mankind is explored. Finally, a novel method for implementing this idea is proposed. This work is significant in advancing a method to liberate certain artificial intelligence technologies from intellectual property rights protection, in order to promote greater experimentation and the development of artificial intelligence applications for the greater good of humanity.
