AI, Copyright, and the Licensing Gap
An examination of how artificial intelligence has exposed a gap in copyright and licensing frameworks.

It covers the who, what, and why of a story, how to separate requirements from implementation, and how to slice work into small, testable, potentially shippable increments using the I.N.V.E.S.T. model.
