Summary/Abstract: With the development of transformational and information technologies, there comes a digital transformation of all forms of social processes, which inevitably affects the protection of intellectual property as a whole. As we live in the digital age, the question is, is this the end of intellectual property or a new beginning? On one hand, the development of transformational technologies which include artificial intelligence enhances business processes, mental health, emotional well-being and the like by using hardware and software resources, while the development of digital information and communication technologies also enhances social and business processes through giving and sharing information that helps in inferring and improving the quality of life of all individuals. However, using transformational and information technologies can lead to many abuses, which often violates intellectual property rights, and above all, copyright on computer software, or software that underpins the work of digital technologies. These abuses can often lead to criminal offenses. Intellectual property rights face the biggest challenge, and the question arises as to whether intellectual property rights need to be reformed in order to bring about the best copyright solutions for computer programs, databases and other intellectual property rights which are strongly represented in the digital age. This work will also specifically analyze artificial intelligence, which is a particularly interesting form of transformational technology, which raises the question of whether copyright and other forms of intellectual property rights can be protected by basic postulates of intellectual property rights and how, if such works are created by artificial intelligence.
