Abstract

Modern problems of copyright protection in science and art are closely related to the new stage of technological development, which was clearly identified in the early 20s with the introduction of artificial intelligence in all spheres of modern life [11, 165]. The introduction of AI into art and science raises a number of legal issues, especially regarding copyright [3, 78]. In some jurisdictions, authorship can be attributed to the AI developer and in others to the AI itself. To get copyright protection, a work must be original. Can AI create original works, or will they be considered based on previous works? If the AI uses materials or data that are copyrighted by others, the question arises as to the use and licensing of these materials. If the AI creates a work that violates the copyrights of others, who is responsible for the violation — the AI developer or the AI itself? What rights to use the AI-created work should be granted to the creator or owner of the AI, as well as to others? A parallel question is how to legally protect AI and the works it creates in order to prevent the illegal use or copying of these works. In some cases, AI can create new technologies or inventions. Then comes the question of who owns the patent rights to such inventions, and how they can be protected. All these issues require further legal analysis and the development of appropriate legal norms and policies to regulate the introduction of AI in art and science.
