Legal Status of Intellectual Property Created by Artificial Intelligence

The legal status of intellectual property generated by artificial intelligence (AI) remains a topic of debate. Due to the Berne Convention's recognition of only humans as authors, many countries, including the United States and the European Union, do not acknowledge AI as an independent author or inventor. Similarly, patent legislation is primarily applicable to natural persons. This situation renders the legal status of works created by AI ambiguous. The acquisition of intellectual property rights by artificial intelligence can have both positive and negative consequences. Therefore, it is expected that the world community will provide solutions to this issue with new approaches.
