Abstract:
In recent years, technological advancement has been rapid. Artificial intelligence refers to the availability of applications capable of completing tasks involving the imitation of human intellectual processes by computers, particularly computer systems. A major developing concern nowadays is who owns the copyright of images created by artificial intelligence, notably in the Creative Industry. It’s a tricky issue—professional artists are outraged, copyright officials are baffled, and attorneys are preparing to have a field day. The issue lies in the effectiveness regarding the protection of copyright on creative industry work, made by the Artificial Intelligence itself. Since it is a machine/computer system capable of possessing human intelligence in performing complex tasks such as creating creative industrial work, it creates difficulty in how far such protection can be provided for creative industrial work. Therefore, it is difficult to prove the legal aspect of an artwork made by a machine, not by humans.
