Abstract

This paper was set to address to what extent intellectual property law is prepared for keeping pace with the rapid development of artificial intelligence and digitalization? We examined, by way of using empirical methods, the relationship between artificial intelligence, its regulation and the current trends in intellectual works. The overall conclusion of our research findings demonstrates that current legislation is well suited to support the requirements of technological progress. Nevertheless, there are some new dimensions in terms of worthy proposals that may also be considered. This paper stresses that given AI is capable of bringing significant transformations in our daily lives about, a major paradigm shift in legislation may soon be inevitably required.
