ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: FROM CONTENT CREATION TO OWNERSHIP

Abstract

AI and IP rights have become increasingly complex as AI systems generate works that challenge traditional Intellectual Property (IP) law. As the issues surrounding copyright of AI continue to arise, it questions the long-standing belief that creativity and authorship are purely human endeavors. Who owns AI-generated content? This article delves into legal and philosophical dilemmas regarding the ownership of AI-generated content and its growing role in different fields, including literature, art, and music. It brings into discussion the concerns regarding AI copyright infringement, ownership of AI-generated work, and the legal status of AI creations. Through a comparative analysis of AI-related frameworks for Intellectual Property rights in the EU, US, UK,   and Singapore, the article highlights inconsistencies in these legal frameworks by evaluating their legal measures for addressing AI’s creative contributions. The article concludes by advocating for the creation of a unified international legal structure to protect human creators' rights while embracing the innovative potential of AI creations.
