Navigating Intellectual Property in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

AI is not just assisting creators, but generating unique works on its own—music, art, text, and inventions.

Copyright and patents were designed for human authors and inventors, leaving AI creations in a gray area.

The U.S. Copyright Office states AI cannot be an author, as AI lacks originality in the human sense.

Patents require human inventors, not machines. Courts recently denied patents for AI-created inventions like DABUS.

The human operator maintains ownership, which aligns with current laws, but may not fit future AI advancements.

AI may handle creative work, but humans guide and refine it, creating a shared ownership model.

Adapting IP laws for AI-driven content will help promote fair rewards for human and AI creators alike.
