ABSTRACT
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science concerned with building intelligent machines that are able to carry out tasks that normally require human intelligence. The world has witnessed tremendous growth in AI in the past few years. AI is playing a revolutionary role in impacting various industries and reshaping the lives of people. AI systems, which include machine learning algorithms and neural networks, have the ability to generate a wide range of outputs.
AI creations encompass generative art, music composition, text and visual content generation, architectural design, medical diagnosis, language processing, gaming, autonomous vehicles, robotics, finance, cyber security, and educational tools. Generally, all kinds of inventions, artistic works, brand names, and trade secrets are protected under intellectual property (IP) laws.
Protection under IP laws is available for creations that come from the human mind as of now. The principal aim of IP laws is to furnish authors, innovators, and creators with legal mechanisms to control the use, reproduction, and distribution of their intellectual creations.
In today’s world, where artificial intelligence is capable of producing these intellectual works as well, the question that needs to be answered is whether or not IP laws will come into effect to protect them. This research work discusses the challenges that arise in assigning ownership, authorship and liability as per IP laws for creations generated by AI.
