Abstract
Artificial Intelligence has advanced rapidly, revolutionising content creation raising concerning legal questions about intellectual property rights and liabilities attached with it. AI is instrumental in generating creative works, from music and artistic to content and even inventions due to which the conventional legal framework of Intellectual Property law faces unprecedented challenges. The dynamic landscape of legal liability for AI generated content is examined in this study, particularly focusing upon infringement claims, ownership attribution and regulatory strategies.
This study aims to examine the protection granted to AI generated content, whether it is legally protected under existing IP framework or novel legal frameworks are need of the hour. The heart of this study is the question of authorship, i.e., whether the creators of AI system, its users and people deploying such systems, or if AI itself should be recognized as the legitimate owner. The AI generated content violates the existing IP laws, assigning blame gets complicated because non-human producers are not legally recognized.
Deploying comparative legal analysis, this study illustrates different approaches adopted by countries such as US, the European Union and new AI regulations worldwide. It takes into consideration the key legal disputes and court rulings, emphasizing how different legal systems address questions of originality, creativity and intent, the essentials elements in assessing IP protection.
Additionally, this study explores the formulation of policy with the aim of balancing the requirement for legal accountability and innovation incentives. Proposals include broadening the horizons of IP definitions, shared liability frameworks for users and creators and creating new classifications for AI generated works.
By understanding the nexus of technology, law and ethics this study advances the current discussions about updating the IP laws in the era of AI.
