Re-Assessing Jurisprudential Foundation of Intellectual Property Laws in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Intellectual property laws, historically conceived along the lines of human innovation and creativity that provide individual or entity have done it granting them rights for their invention. The ascendance of IP from jurisprudential foundations to more abstract principles threatens the traditional underpinnings of many legal doctrines; so too will extend certain AI systems. Rise of AI which leading everything from content to designs and even inventions being spat out by machines raises questions about who gets credit for starting it all. Existing IP systems are unclear in defining and resolving questions such as those relating to the AI-generated works scenario where human authorship is not present a fundamental concept within jurisdictions safeguarding only creative work that has been developed by humans. This chapter focuses on the matter that AI evolves quickly, with greater ability to compromise existing IP rights by creating and adapting protected works more rapidly than ever before.
