Abstract

This chapter delves into the complex interplay between copyright law and artificial intelligence, focusing on four key areas: the redefinition of authorship, the challenges of ownership attribution, the international variations in copyright protection for AI-generated works, and the ethical implications of AI in creative industries. The analysis highlights the tension between traditional notions of human creativity and the rise of AI-generated content, exploring how different jurisdictions are grappling with these issues. The chapter also examines the role of software developers, end-users, and AI systems in the creation process, and the potential for joint authorship or work-for-hire frameworks. It concludes with a call for international cooperation and the development of cohesive protection frameworks to address the unique challenges posed by AI-generated content. Readers will gain insights into the evolving legal landscape, the ethical considerations, and the practical implications for the creative industries, making this a must-read for anyone interested in the future of copyright law in the digital age.
