ABSTRACT
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it poses significant challenges and raises complex legal questions in the field of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). One such challenge is whether AI can be considered an inventor, owner, or author of a patent, copyright, or trademark. This article explores the conflicts and challenges that arise with the application of existing IPR laws to AI-generated inventions, works, and creations.
The paper examines various cases and legal frameworks from different jurisdictions to identify the challenges and gaps in the current IPR laws. It analyses the issues related to ownership, liability, infringement, and protection of AI-generated intellectual property. Additionally, the article reviews the debates on whether AI should be recognized as an inventor or author of a work, and what implications such recognition would have on existing legal frameworks.
