Description
Intellectual property rights and copyright laws were first conceptualised during the 1700s as a way of protecting invention and inventors. Fast forward to 2024 and generative AI is everywhere - both consuming content and producing new content. So, is it time to change the law to recognise this shift? Enrico Bonadio, Reader in Intellectual Property Law at University of London, explores the seesaw debate on whether the law needs to accommodate for AI, or if invention laws should be reserved for human ingenuity.

Primary challenges of making intellectual property with AI
Before diving into the deep end of the debate, first we must understand the challenges surrounding AI with intellectual property.
What counts as infringement?
Different countries have different laws that define the parameters of copyright infringement. Bonadio talks us through how the USA's fair use doctrine might be more lenient than European laws, and shines light on the DABUS AI copyright case.
All signs point to lawmakers for change
Judging by the speed that AI is developing, some believe lawmakers need to make changes towards current copyright and intellectual property right laws now. Bonadio raises the argument that there must be a balance between the protection of human creativity and the encouragement of AI inventions.
