ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPYRIGHT

Copyright Protection of Creations Generated by Generative AI Systems

Abstract

To assess the ability of AI systems to attract copyright protection for the products of their operation, we must consider and resolve three problems: a) Do the intangible goods produced by AI systems reach a sufficient level of creativity to be protected as intellectual works? b) If the answer to the previous question is affirmative, should its exploitation be subject to exclusivity similar to that corresponding to intellectual rights? c) If the answer to the previous question is yes, to whom should this exclusive right belong? It is in answering these questions that the status of AI systems is resolved.
