Copyright Law Issues Related to the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Creating Audiovisual Content in Television Business

Abstract

This article studies how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in the production of audiovisual content in television business and related copyright issues. By employing a documentary research method, documents related to the four formats of audiovisual content production using AI were studied namely, searching and verifying information, generating ideas and topics, generating and editing content, generating closed caption, and translating, along with related copyright laws. The study found that currently the use of AI in producing audiovisual content in television is increasing exponentially thank to its speed and quality. However, the content produced by AI, both independently and with human involvement, tends to impact data owners, AI creators, and AI users in the aspect of AI users’ creative work protection. When a dispute occurs, level of creative contribution from the users is taken into account. Consequently, those involved in regulating audiovisual content in television business should consider the impacts of copyright infringement, reputational harm, human rights violations, breaches of personal data protection laws, and other issues that may arise. In addition, they should enhance their technological knowledge in order to prevent the copyright infringement.
