ABSTRACT
The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized creative industries, enabling machines to produce text, images, music, and other forms of media. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of intellectual property, raising fundamental questions about the legal framework that governs the protection of works generated solely by AI. Copyright law, which has traditionally hinged on the concept of human authorship, faces significant challenges as AI-generated works i.e. works created without any human intervention become more prevalent. This research proposal seeks to explore the complex relationship between AI-generated works and copyright law, focusing on the protection or lack thereof of such works. The central legal issue at hand is whether AI-generated works can qualify for copyright protection, and if so, who holds the rights to these works. Current copyright laws in most jurisdictions do not explicitly address the issue of non-human authorship. The research will provide a comprehensive analysis of how copyright law is currently applied to AI-generated works under various jurisdictions and to identify emerging trends in AI and copyright regulation. Additionally, the research will examine the legal, ethical, and policy implications of granting copyright protection to AI-generated works, considering the potential impact on innovation, creativity, and the balance of rights between creators and users. The research aims to develop a significant understanding of the current legal landscape, identify gaps in regulation, and propose relevant solutions.
