Synopsis

The philosophy of AI is one of the new areas of debate in the 21st century. The impact of AI on humans and society, the effectiveness of AI-supported programs, the creativity and originality of AI, the qualities of authorship and artistic activities in AI, copyright issues, identity concerns, and ethical concerns are among the fundamental topics in AI philosophy.

As developments in the field of AI increase, philosophical questions about AI will also inevitably deepen. In this context, this study addresses the authorship of AI. The authorship dimension of AI is subjected to a new evaluation through Foucault's analyses. Could Foucault's thoughts on language, discourse, and authorship help us interpret the authorship qualities of 21st-century AI? What is the meaning and, if any, function of authorship in AI? The article seeks answers to these fundamental questions and offers a different and critical perspective on the authorship of AI.
