LEGAL CHALLENGES OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS

Abstract

Abstract. This article examines the major legal challenges related to intellectual property rights in artificial intelligence systems. The rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies has transformed creative and innovative activities, raising complex questions concerning authorship, ownership, copyright protection, patent rights, and legal responsibility. The study analyzes how AI-generated content challenges traditional intellectual property frameworks that were originally designed for human creators and inventors. Particular attention is given to issues such as copyright infringement, the use of protected data in AI training processes, plagiarism, and the legal status of AI-created works. The article also explores international legal approaches and emphasizes the necessity of improving existing legislation in order to ensure effective protection of intellectual property in the digital era. The research concludes that modern legal systems must adapt to technological progress by developing flexible and balanced regulatory mechanisms for artificial intelligence technologies.
