The impact of artificial intelligence technologies on the legal rules of intellectual property

Abstract

There is no doubt that the rapid and increasing growth of artificial intelligence systems and applications raises a number of legal problems in various specializations. For example, artificial intelligence systems have entered the field of creativity and innovation, and have demonstrated a high technical ability to simulate the human mind in creating different types of creative works. This situation has begun to impose new challenges on intellectual property laws, given that these creations and innovations are accomplished without human intervention, which raises questions about intellectual property policies in general, and the rules of copyright and patents in particular. It has become clear that the machine's interference in areas that were previously reserved for human innovation, and the questions it raises about ownership of inventions, works, and works created using artificial intelligence, occupies a place that is difficult to ignore at the heart of the jurisprudential debate in light of the absence of legislation regulating this issue. There is no doubt that the role played by artificial intelligence systems and applications is in light of the lack of preparedness of the existing legal systems to deal with these technological developments that are evolving at a rapid pace that the legal rules are unable to keep up with. The question arises about the possibility of these works produced by artificial intelligence being protected according to intellectual property laws.
