Artificial intelligence and copyright: a study on the british regulation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Recently, the Chilean Government has issued its National Policy on Artificial Intelligence, which proposes the adaptation of the intellectual property regime to incentivising and strengthening the artificial intelligence (AI) related creativity. The British legislation is usually referred to show a potential regulation of autonomously AIcreated works. In this context, the article analyses the reach of the copyright protection of “computer-generated works” under the British copyright law. Therefore, the article seeks to determine whether the British regime protects the autonomously AI-generated works and, thus, serve as an input to the Chilean legislative discussion.
