Intellectual Property in the Age of Machine Creativity: Understanding the Legal Landscape and Emerging Issues

Abstract

This chapter explores the intersection of intellectual property (IP) law and generative artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on the complex challenges and emerging issues presented by these technologies. It provides a structured taxonomy of IP concerns related to AI, including authorship and ownership, copyright infringement, fair use. By analyzing the legal and ethical implications of these challenges, the chapter aims to offer insights into current IP frameworks and propose potential solutions and best practices for stakeholders. Through a multidisciplinary approach that includes legal texts, academic literature, and case studies, this chapter contributes to the development of new theoretical frameworks and informs policy, practice, and public understanding in the evolving landscape of machine creativity. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
