Summary/Abstract: Artificial intelligence is one of those transformative technologies that keeps drawing ever more attention. Artificial intelligence systems are developed and deployed with the effort to assist or replace humans in the performance of everyday tasks and creative endeavours. As far as creative expression is concerned, artificial intelligence can compose music, write poems and even paint. However, there are many interesting questions that are asked, particularly from the copyright standpoint. The main question in that respect would be whether something made by or something using an artificial intelligence system should be a copyright protected work. If there is such possibility, it creates possibility of arising issues of rights ownership and copyright. Likewise, there is debate about whether the advancement of artificial intelligence challenges the fundamental concepts of copyright law. This paper addresses the copyright issues raised by artificial intelligence generated works.
