ABSTRACT
The evolution of copyright protection, starting from the 16th-century printing press, faces contemporary challenges in the 21st century due to technological advancements. Copyright rights and enforcement have encountered new complexities grounded in the legislative enactments. This paper contends that the Work produced by Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is inherently original and warrants copyright protection. A. Technology has become a formidable force, facilitating the generation of novel authorship across diverse fields such as science, medicine, law, art, and literature—the escalating volume of A.I. The content I generated explores why such Work merits copyright protection and how this intersects with ownership issues. The expanding influence of Artificial Intelligence across diverse sectors such as medical science, transportation, aviation, space, education, entertainment (music, art, games, and films), and industry has profoundly reshaped our daily lives. This transformation extends to the realm of Intellectual Property Rights (I.P.R.s). The global recognition of A.I.'s role in fostering creativity and innovation is evident, with a particular emphasis on its impact on copyright, patents, designs, and trade secrets among various I.P.R.s.
The paper conducts a comparative analysis of existing copyright laws across jurisdictions, addressing the pressing question of A. I generated the Work's rightful place within the copyright framework. It delves into current challenges in digital copyright and anticipates future developments. A focal point of discussion is the concept of legal personhood and its connection to the ownership of copyrightable Work. A.I. has created significant concerns and challenges in intellectual property rights, particularly within copyright law. This article explores the pivotal role of A.I. in generating creative works, encompassing various forms such as arts, music, poetry, novels, and more. The focus extends to examining issues related to authorship and the emergence of "deep fakes" resulting from A.I.'s autonomous creation of works.
