Is Joint Authorship Necessary Under The Current Copyright Law For Human-Assisted AI Creations?




Yash Vikram Singh, LLM, National Law School of India University


ABSTRACT


This paper deals with the legality of providing joint authorship to the duo of a human being and an Artificial Intelligence (AI). The paper will limit itself to current legal regulations, finding cues for validating AI authorship from copyright legislation of countries that have dealt with the issue and narrowing down the discussion to academic and scientific research fields and the role AI can play in a collaborative sense. The paper will discuss the ambiguity in copyright laws, wherein some of the territorial laws stay silent on the need for an author to be a human being. The paper will conclude with the scope of co-authorship and the benefits to society, if any.
