“The advance of AI is as transformative as the Industrial Revolution, and with great change comes the responsibility to reshape our legal and ethical frameworks to align with this new reality.”

ABSTRACT

This research paper delves into the contentious issue of whether companies should be allowed to patent AI-generated content, presenting a compelling argument in favour of such rights. By analysing the legal, psychological, and economic dimensions of this debate, it is posited that permitting patents for AI-generated innovations would drive technological advancement, encourage investment, and remain consistent with established intellectual property principles. The paper further offers targeted recommendations to develop a robust legal framework capable of accommodating both human and AI contributions, thereby fostering sustainable progress in the realm of innovation.
