Artificial Intelligence as the Author of the Work

The article studies the issues of authorship of works created by artificial intelligence. Since such works are already a regular part of our life, the problems of copyright protection of them arise in many countries of the world and may be resolved in judicial practice in different ways: for example, in some countries the exclusive right to a work belongs to an owner of an AI system, in others - a work may be unprotected by law and refers to the public domain. In this regard, the article examines well-known and rather complex cases that are related both directly to artificial intelligence and to the issues of a non-human authorship in general. Also the article considers the issues that may arise in case of artificial intelligence being declared as the author of works. So, we are talking about the problem of the exclusive rights protection terms, about issues of responsibility in case of violation of other people's intellectual rights by artificial intelligence. It seems that at this stage of the development of society, due to the lack of "strong" artificial intelligence, it would be more correct to talk about "works created with the help of AI systems". In this case the exclusive right to them should belong to a person who undertakes the necessary measures for creating the work
