Legal Aspects of Distinguishing Human Creative Contribution from Visual Content Generated by Artificial Intelligence
Keywords:
artificial intelligence; visual content; copyright; creative contribution; originality.Abstract
The article aims to analyse the legal distinction between human creative contribution and visual content generated by artificial intelligence, and to identify possible directions for the development of copyright law in the context of the growing relevance of generative artificial intelligence. The research is based on scholarly, comparative and doctrinal analysis, as well as historical and contemporary approaches, enabling an assessment of both the existing legal framework and the need for its adaptation.
The article demonstrates the impact of the development of generative artificial intelligence on creative activity and its legal consequences. Modern AI systems generate visual content through algorithmic processes, making it difficult to distinguish between human involvement and that of the so-called “machine” in the creative process.
The present article examines the function, significance and capabilities of artificial intelligence and their impact on copyright. On the basis of an analysis of international practice and the risks identified, the article advances the view that the legal system should adapt to technological developments and introduce more flexible, hybrid models that both recognise human creative contribution and take account of the role of AI as a tool. The novelty of the research developed in the article lies in the formulation of a balanced model based on contemporary judicial practice and international approaches.
