Is the output of generative AI entitled to First Amendment protection? We're inclined to say yes. Even though current AI programs are of course not people and do not themselves have constitutional rights, their speech may potentially be protected because of the rights of the programs' creators. But beyond that, and likely more significantly, AI programs' speech should be protected because of the rights of their users-both the users' rights to listen and their rights to speak. In this short Article, we sketch the outlines of this analysis.

翻译：生成式人工智能的输出是否享有美国宪法第一修正案的保护？我们倾向于肯定这一观点。尽管当前的人工智能程序并非人类，本身也不具有宪法权利，但其输出的言论可能因程序创作者的权利而受到保护。然而，更重要的是，人工智能程序的言论还应因其使用者的权利——包括使用者获取信息的权利和表达的权利——而受到保护。在这篇简短的文章中，我们勾勒了这一分析的基本框架。
