Artificial Intelligence and Copyright: Issues and Challenges

Abstract

The increasing role of Artificial Intelligence in the area of medical science, transportation, aviation, space, education, entertainment (music, art, games, and films), industry, and many other sectors has transformed our day to day lives. The area of Intellectual Property Rights is not an exception. The role of AI in creativity and innovation has been recognized worldwide. AI has a significant role to play more specifically in copyright, patents, designs, and trade secrets among various types of IPRs. AI can inter alia, compose music, write blogs, novels, poetry, generate paintings and drawings. The distinction however, has to be made between the works created by a person with the assistance of AI and the one created by AI itself without any human intervention. AI has created serious issues and posed challenges in the areas of intellectual property rights more particularly in copyright law. The present article discusses how AI is important in producing creative works such as arts, music, poem, novels among other things. The article will also discuss the issues of authorship and “deep fakes” in the work produced by the AI autonomously. The article discusses the legal position in several countries and deals comprehensively with several models of authorship in AI-generated works. The discussions being made in this regard at the WIPO have also been discussed in the article.
