Artificial Intelligence and Copyright

The rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping the very foundations of copyright law.

As AI systems grow more powerful – capable of producing images, text, music, and other forms of creative expression – they challenge long-established ideas of authorship, ownership, and copyright. Around the world, legal experts and policymakers are grappling with fundamental questions:

• Who owns the rights to AI-generated works?
• What material can be used to train AI systems?
• How should publicly available online content be treated when used by AI?
• Can the products of AI be freely used – or even legally protected?

This book explores these pressing issues in depth, offering a clear overview of how copyright laws and regulations are evolving in practice across the EU, Canada, the United States, Asia, and South America.

A must-read for legal professionals, policymakers, creators, and anyone seeking to understand how AI is rewriting the rules of copyright law.
