ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence has profoundly impacted daily life and work, but the legal system that governs intellectual property rights, such as Copyright and Patent laws, has been slow to adapt to technological advancements. In this paper, I discuss the challenges that AI poses to existing IP laws and consider whether reforms or reinventions are necessary to ensure their continued effectiveness in the AI era. One issue with AI-generated works is determining who should own the copyright because it may be challenging to attribute them to human authors. Additionally, AI systems can produce deep fakes, which are manipulated images or videos that mimic real images, but are actually fake, making it difficult to determine the authenticity of such works. Another challenge for patent law is determining who should own a patent for AI-generated inventions, as AI systems can invent or improve existing inventions in ways that surpass human capabilities. Reforming the IP rules to address AI’s unique properties. My research explores the linking of patent and copyright rules to AI. This study analyzes these rules as barriers and starting points for new technologies under IP law. It examines whether existing laws hinder or align with the purpose of new technology.
