Abstract

In recent years, many computer programs have appeared that operate on the AI basis, which are designed to generate various types of content and are distributed to a wide range of users. Therefore, more and more AI objects, similar in their characteristics to protected results of intellectual activity, are being distributed on the Internet. The fact that such objects are generated automatically by a computer program does not allow them to be subject to legal protection in accordance with Part 4 of the Russian Civil Code due to the lack of authors. At the same time, significant funds are being invested in the creation of new AI systems, which determines the need to protect the interests of persons involved in the AI creation and use. At the same time, there is no consensus in the scientific literature about the possibility or impossibility of protecting such objects, as well as the principles and contours of their legal protection. In this regard, the author conducted a study in order to formulate the basic principles of legal protection of objects generated by AI systems. To achieve this goal, the author has formulated the following tasks: to summarize existing approaches to solving the issue of legal protection of AI objects, to identify their shortcomings, to determine the presence or absence of elements of human creativity in working with artificial intelligence systems, to determine the optimal regime for the protection of AI objects. The study was conducted using general scientific methods of cognition, as well as methods of literal interpretation of legal norms, a predictive method and a method of legal modeling. The author comes to the conclusion that there are signs of creativity in human activities when working with AI, which makes it possible to recognize users of such systems as the authors of the objects they generate in accordance with the presumption of authorship enshrined in legislation.
