Intellectual Property Rights In The Era Of Artificial Intelligence And Automation

The rapid development of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) has presented intellectual property (IP) law with significant challenges. Traditional ideas of ownership and authorship in intellectual property are experiencing new difficulties as a result of AI's expanding capacity to produce innovations, designs, and original works on its own. This paper explores the increasing challenges surrounding intellectual property protection for innovations and works of art generated by automated or artificial intelligence systems. This study examines the difficulties in determining who deserves the rights to inventions developed using machines: the AI system itself, the AI's owner or programmer, or the organisation that commissioned the AI's development. Furthermore, it examines the legal issues of authorship and inventorship of AI-generated works, which challenges the fundamental principles of existing IP laws that are based on human creators. The study highlights the need for legislative changes and the formulation of new rules to address AI's involvement in creative work by examining case studies and current legal discussions.
