Abstract

For the case of Indonesia, the legal status of artificial intelligence (AI) is in its early years. Quantitative research: Data was collected from 150 legal experts, AI practitioners and policymakers where structured questionnaires were deployed; together with the analysing of 75 AI-generated innovations in various domains The results demonstrate an enormous disconnect between current IPR regulations based on human authorship and the rapid evolution of AI technology, which can now produce copyrighted outputs. The consensus among respondents suggests that a full regulatory superstructure is required to grapple with the possibilities and problems AI as creator can provide. In addition, the research suggests there is scope to fill this void without further extending IP rights and quietly yet significantly reform current laws by specifying that AI-generated works may be owned by humans; thus creating legal certainty. This reported research can inform the overall debate on adapting IPR to AI innovations and highlights a need for policy changes around the world in order to promote innovation, creativity and Intellectual Property Rights in an AI-dominated environment.
