ABSTRACT
The advent of artificial intelligence as a creative industry has essentially challenged the normative rules of copyright across the world. This paper explores the legal implications of AIcreated works in different countries around the world, assessing the way different jurisdictions deal with critical challenges of authorship, ownership, and copyrightability. The paper looks at the different approaches taken by the United States, European Union and Asian jurisdictions and identifies significant differences in how legal regimes balance innovation incentives and the old copyright rules. Issues examined about this area of critical concern include the need to have a human author, the conferral of ownership, the inclusion of copyrighted material into AItraining datasets, the policy implications of creative industries in general. The study shows that there is no jurisdiction that has fully achieved the solution to these problems and the lack of international harmonisation creates great legal uncertainty in the digital age. It is found that the future copyright systems must go beyond anthropocentric and do not compromise the necessary incentive that the copyright law was designed to protect.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Copyright Law, AI-Generated Works, Intellectual Property, Authorship, Ownership Rights, Global Copyright Policy, Training Data, Human Authorship Requirement, Legal Harmonization.
