Ownership Of AI-Generated Works: Rethinking Copyright In The 21st Century

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has changed the world of traditional law and particularly in the intellectual property law. In this paper, the issue of rights to ownership of works generated with the help of AI is analyzed, where it is asked whether the current copyright doctrines are adequate in the era of autonomous creation. It examines the way jurisdictions currently approach the issues, the consequences this may have on creators and developers and what potential mechanisms may exist to be used as a basis of change. This paper presents such a multidisciplinary viewing of authorship and suggests a mixed legal approach that will satisfy both incentive innovation and an acceptable use of AI.
