Abstract

 The study examined the impact of AI applications on intellectual property (IP), which raises numerous legal issues related to IP issues, including the extent of legal protection that can be provided to works resulting from AI technologies. Various forms of IP protection are an important area for these technologies. Furthermore, AI tools are now being used to organize, analyze, and audit IP records. These rights include trademarks, industrial designs, and patents, which necessitates research into the role of these systems in protecting IP rights. Information is a product of human thought, forming a wealth of information and knowledge that is not limited to a specific field, but rather encompasses scientific, economic, security, and other fields. Therefore, the intellectual property rights of these ideas must be recognized, given their importance and impact on the level of development of nations. This necessitates efforts to protect intellectual property rights. Among the legal challenges raised by AI in the field of intellectual property rights is the question of whether a work, art, design, or composition is created or invented by AI systems. Who is considered the author or owner of the rights thereto? Is it the programmer, the developer, or the user of these systems? Could the owner of the intellectual property rights be the AI ​​itself? As legal professionals, we face challenges regarding the issues raised by AI applications in the field of intellectual property rights, especially since intellectual property laws were enacted to apply to works authored, created, or invented by humans, not AI. We face a legislative vacuum regarding inventions achieved by AI systems. The study concluded that it is necessary to amend intellectual property legislation to address the challenges arising from the use of artificial intelligence and attempt to legally regulate the ownership of works generated by these systems. Should they be attributed to the creators of the algorithms, for example, or to the users, or to the artificial intelligence itself? Legislators and practitioners in these fields should collaborate to attempt to adapt the legal frameworks of intellectual property legislation regarding creativity and innovation resulting from artificial intelligence technologies.
