Challenges and Opportunities in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the Age of Generative AI: Balancing Innovation and Protection

Dr. Siby Samuel

Abstract: The advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ushered in a new era of innovation, fundamentally altering the landscape of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). This research paper aims to explore the intricate balance between fostering AI - driven creativity and safeguarding individual intellectual contributions. Generative AI, with its capability to produce original content, ranging from literary works to scientific research, poses a significant challenge to traditional notions of IPR, which are predicated on human ingenuity and individual creativity. The paper delves into the current legal frameworks governing IPR and examines their adequacy in addressing the complexities introduced by AI - generated content. It highlights key instances where AI has independently created works that could potentially qualify for copyright, raising questions about authorship and originality in the digital age. Furthermore, the paper explores the ethical and economic implications of AI in the realm of IPR, considering both the potential for AI to democratize content creation and the risks of undermining human creativity. The research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing insights from legal studies, technology, and ethics, to propose a revised model of IPR that accommodates the unique characteristics of AI while protecting the rights and incentives of human creators.
