The rapid evolution of information technologies, driven by revolutionary innovations, has profoundly transformed the nature of legal relations. The widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI), its numerous advantages, and its continuous advancement necessitate substantial changes in legal regulation.
In particular, the development of machine learning technologies and the emergence of generative artificial intelligence capable of producing intellectual property (IP) objects with novel and original features have raised significant questions concerning their legal protection. Advances in generative AI have enabled machines to create texts, artworks, musical compositions, and even inventions that can rival human creativity. These developments challenge the traditional understanding of authorship and originality and raise complex issues regarding the legal status of AI-generated works within the existing framework of intellectual property law.
As a result, legal relations arising from works created by generative AI remain largely unregulated in the legislation of most jurisdictions. This regulatory gap gives rise to considerable uncertainties and practical challenges in the application of IP law to AI-generated outputs.
This article seeks to examine the existing legal concepts of authorship and creativity, to analyze the current legal framework governing AI-generated works, and to identify possible approaches for the development of coherent and adaptive regulatory mechanisms. The study is based on the analysis of diverse scientific literature and legal sources.
