ABSTRACT

             Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a theoretical concept into a tool capable of performing complex tasks that rival human intellect. It is defined as a program capable of processing and acting on information similar to human intelligence, AI systems now contribute to creative processes, from producing art and literature to driving technological advancements in fields like medicine and engineering. AI systems can perform tasks requiring creativity, decision-making, and even perception, raising questions about their role in intellectual creation.  This challenges the traditional understanding of ownership of Intellectual Property Right. This raises important legal issues about AI’s role in intellectual property (IP), particularly whether AI-generated outputs should be afforded the same legal protections as those created by humans. As AI continues to reshape industries and challenge traditional concepts of creativity and invention, legal frameworks must adapt to address the emerging challenges posed by AI-driven innovations.     This paper attempts to analyse the concept of juridical paradigm of ownership and attempts to comprehend the legal conundrum in granting intellectual property rights to works generated by Artificial Intelligence. It attempts to identify the panacea for the legal challenge posed by these pioneering inventions and innovations.
