Legal Aspects of Protection of Rights to Intellectual Property Created by Generative AI

This paper is devoted to analysis of international approaches to the protection of rights for intellectual property objects created by artificial intelligence. Main theses are reviewed according to which an object obtained during the interaction of a human with a neural network is recognized as a subject of copyright. Possible problematic aspects in determining the grounds for recognizing material as a subject of copyright are determined. The study revealed significant differences in the approaches of international jurisdictions regarding the definition of content created in interaction with AI as an object of copyright. Specifically, such differences exist between the PRC and the USA. Meanwhile, the lack of a universal approach is expected to contribute to the emergence of a large volume of intellectual property rights in the future with a status that does not unequivocally define their broad applicability in international commercial activities.
