ABSTRACT
With an emphasis on the opportunities and difficulties posed by AI-generated content, this article examines the significant influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on copyright law. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such OpenAI's ChatGPT, Stability AI's Stable Diffusion, and Meta's Music Gen, have made tremendous strides in producing complex music, literature, and visual art during the last ten years, pushing the limits of human creativity. Significant legal concerns over ownership, protection, and the permissibility of training AI models on intellectual information are being brought up by these AI tools, which were trained on enormous datasets that frequently contained protected content. The fundamental question is whether, given present copyright regimes that typically do not acknowledge AI as a creator, AI can be regarded as a legal author. This article explores the conflict between preserving human originality and enabling AI to aid in the creative process, emphasizing the concerns of artists whose creations are exploited for AI system training without their knowledge or payment. The paper examines how various jurisdictions are handling the ethical, legal, and philosophical problems that artificial intelligence (AI) presents in the field of copyright law. Lastly, it offers legislative proposals for a more flexible and inclusive copyright system, putting forth a balanced approach to copyright protection that respects the rights of human creators while encouraging innovation.
