Hampering Originality: IP Laws in the USA in the Milieu of Generative Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is leading to the replacement of human intellect by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), which is to be a new norm for redefining artistic and literary works not subject to human authorship. The IP laws, particularly in the USA, haven't proved to be dynamic enough to adapt to this fast-moving change. The existing IP laws seem unfair when seen through the prism of the rationale behind the protection of intellectual property in the wake of generative artificial intelligence. The article develops the argument that intellectual property laws especially copyright laws need to evolve to protect AI-generated works. Existing laws, don't protect AI-generated works on the pretext that a machine cannot have intellectual property rights. The article advocates and develops a rationale as to why copyright protection for AI authors will be inevitable shortly to safeguard the intellectual rights of human authors.
