Written by : Yash Butaney, B.B.A.LL.B, United World School of Law, Karnavati University

Abstract

The progress of artificial intelligence has accelerated and turned upside-down different sectors around creativity, innovation and intellectual property. It becomes even more clear when AI becomes autonomous enough to create art, music, literature and even new inventions that frame mostly traditional control on intellectual property rights faces unprecedented challenges. This dissertation addresses the intersection of AI and IP critically, exploring where generated AI content disrupts established ideas of authorship, ownership and protection in existing legal regimes. In the very beginning, it studies the history of evolution of AI and ITS abilities in contemporary processes of creativity and industry.

The research probes into the fundamentals of intellectual property rights and outlines the various kinds of IP, including copyright, patents, trademarks and business secrets and their standard applications. Such research emphasizes the key challenges that AI poses to these legal frameworks such as determining the authorized owner to AI-generated works, use of copyright and patent protection on machine-created content. It also includes risking copyright infringement as AI systems are trained using vast amounts of explicit authorizations.

The dissertation also includes live legal conflicts, policy discussions, and global legislative reactions to the impact of AI on IP. It assesses how different legal systems adapt to AI-related questions by milestones and law developments from jurisdictions like the United States, the European Union and possible further territories like India. In addition, ethical issues related to the usage of existing creative works AI, fair use principles and potential exploitation by human creators will be examined. Possible reforms will be scrutinized to deal with those issues, including redefining the scope of intellectual property laws, creating licensing frames specific to AI and hybrid legal models balancing innovations with rights of creators. This perspective focuses on the role of the masses that include the political creators, parties and courts in shaping the future of intellectual property management.
