Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the creative industry by generating paintings, music, books, software, films, and digital designs with minimal human involvement. While this advancement encourages innovation and creativity, it also raises major copyright concerns regarding authorship and ownership of AI-generated works. Traditional copyright laws are based on human creativity, making it difficult to determine whether rights should belong to the AI developer, the user, or another party involved in the creative process.
