Intellectual property rights in the age of artificial intelligence

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies has transformed the intellectual property (IP) landscape, raising fundamental questions about authorship, ownership, and liability. As AI-generated content, inventions, and innovations continue to emerge, IP laws and policies are struggling to keep pace. This comprehensive review article provides an in-depth examination of the current state of IP in the AI era, exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by these technologies. Key concerns include the ownership of AI-generated works, the patentability of AI inventions, and the adequacy of current legal standards to address AI’s autonomous capabilities. A nuanced approach is necessary to balance these competing interests and ensure that IP rights are aligned with the ethical and legal implications of AI generated content and inventions.
