Some aspects of the application of copyright in the field of artificial intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is currently being integrated into all areas of human activity. AI technologies are implemented based on computer systems that can be categorized under several types of intellectual property. Accordingly, this article examines various aspects of copyright application in the field of artificial intelligence within Russian, Kazakh, and international legislation. The study explores the legal status of computer systems and AI models. It also investigates the legality of using third-party digital materials, such as presentations, texts, photographs, illustrations, music, and videos available on the Internet, in the process of training AI models. The article addresses questions regarding the existence of copyright for AI-generated works and the contributions to the creation of computer-generated works by various parties: the AI system programmer, the organization selling such systems, the system's user, and the individual refining the computer-generated work. The novelty of the research lies in the exploration of public opinion regarding different aspects of copyright application in the field of AI. The practical significance of this research is defined by its potential to assist in selecting optimal approaches for regulating copyright in the realm of artificial intelligence.
