ABSTRACT
The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed creative processes within the entertainment industry, enabling new forms of content production. However, existing intellectual property (IP) frameworks largely fail to address the complexities arising from AI- generated works, particularly regarding authorship and ownership. Most jurisdictions require a natural person to be named as an author or inventor, leaving fully autonomous AI creations unprotected. This paper examines the legal ambiguities surrounding both the input data used to train AI models and the resulting AI-generated outputs, highlighting divergent international approaches. Through an analysis of landmark cases and evolving legislation, it explores how current IP laws struggle to balance innovation, protection of human creators, and ethical AI usage, further examining the implications for the entertainment industry, specifically within the music and film sectors. The study argues for urgent reform of international IP frameworks to establish clear guidelines for AI-generated content to ensure fairness, foster innovation, and address emerging risks in the global entertainment landscape.
