Abstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the production of creative works presents significant challenges to the existing frameworks of copyright law. With AI’s increasing autonomy in creative processes, traditional notions of authorship and originality are under scrutiny, necessitating a reevaluation of copyright protections. The paper proposes an evolved copyright framework that distinguishes between AI-assisted and AI-autonomous creations, suggesting clear guidelines for AI authorship and recommending the establishment of a specific copyright category for AI-generated works. This category would adjust protection levels and terms to reflect the unique nature of these works while ensuring that human creativity remains incentivized. The proposed framework aims to recalibrate copyright law to ensure the protection of human creators’ rights while acknowledging AI’s innovative contributions. This focused approach underscores the need for copyright law to adapt to technological advances, ensuring that it continues to fulfill its role in promoting creativity and innovation.
