Legal Regime of the Results of Intellectual Activity Created by Artificial Intelligence

Traditionally, intellectual property law focuses only on human creativity. However, the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, of which we are witnesses, entails changes to which the law must respond. This work is devoted to the results of intellectual activity created by artificial intelligence systems, from the standpoint of intellectual property law. Among the objects of intellectual property rights exist creative objects themselves, the protection of which is associated with the creative work of the author, and a group of objects of related rights, the rights to which arise in connection with investments and organizational efforts. In the framework of this study, scientific interest is generated by the creation of the first group of objects by the means of artificial intelligence, while the emergence of organizationsl objects of related rights as a result of the activity of artificial intelligence is practically impossible. Thus, such objects of related rights associated with investments and organizational efforts are not considered in the framework of this study. The work consists of, introduction, main body, conclusion and bibliography. The main part is presented in three chapters: The first chapter consists of two sections. It reveals the content of the concept of “artificial intelligence”, provides examples and analyzes the activities of artificial intelligence to create results that form the problem under discussion. The second chapter consists of three sections. It is devoted to the scientific substantiation of the endowment of the subject of intellectual rights with the right of authorship and exclusive rights; the study of existing concepts within which it is proposed to solve the problem of determining the appropriate holder of rights; it gives an independent assessment of the applicability of the described concepts to the results created by artificial intelligence. The third chapter consists of three sections. It is devoted to the issues of protection of objects created by artificial intelligence without significant human intervention. Particular attention is paid to objects of copyright and patent rights.
