Artificial Intelligence and Authors under Copyright Law
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Authors, CopyrightAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of people’s daily lives. This is because AI has widely been used in many activities. More particularly, AI has been used to generate copyrighted works. The question arises whether AI can become an author under copyright law or works created by AI are copyrightable. The purpose of this research is to study this problem and determine guidelines for analyzing the issue. This research method relies on qualitative research. It collects information from books, articles, reports, news, regulations, and judicial decisions. This research has also found that AI cannot become authors in Australia and the United States. However, in the United Kingdom, AI may become authors. In Thailand, AI should not become authors.
