INTRODUCTION
In this article we will examine the issue of intellectual property rights for artificially intelligent (AI) systems. Should AI systems be given the same intellectual property rights as humans, and what implications does this have for the future of our society? AI systems are increasingly being used to generate patterns and relationships and even respond to prompts, leading to the question of whether or not AI should have the same intellectual property rights as humans. Although the US Copyright Office has declared that “only human authorship is protected,” there are already developments that suggest that AI may be given intellectual property rights in the future (Generative AI Has an Intellectual Property Problem).
Furthermore, with the increasing complexity of AI technologies, it is argued that the patent system should no longer be focused on human inventors, but should also accommodate AI- based inventions. This would require the creation of a new legal code in order to distinguish between creations that have been created by humans and those created by machines (The art of artificial intelligence: a recent copyright law development)2.
It is clear that AI technology presents us with a unique ethical dilemma and raises the importance of recognizing the true authorship of AI generated works. If we are to move forward in this area, it is important to consider all perspectives and plan for the potential implications, both legal and ethical, of giving AI systems the same intellectual property rights as humans. With AI becoming increasingly intertwined with our everyday lives, it is essential to consider this significant issue and remain informed about potential developments.,
