The Artificial Author

The artificial author explores the theme of intellectual property in the era of generative artificial intelligence and reflects on the new concept of creativity brought by this disruptive technology. The book questions the concept of authorship and the possibility that machines might perform much of the creative work traditionally reserved for humans, leaving the latter in the mere role of controller of the outputs obtained. Through an interesting doctrinal reflection, a precise commentary on jurisprudential cases, and a detailed survey of the terms of use of the main platforms, Simone Aliprandi offers an overview of the main emerging issues regarding copyright management of AI-generated works. The book is written in an accessible style and is intended not only for legal professionals but for all those interested in the new challenges posed by artificial intelligence in the field of creativity. The work is completed by a series of explanatory diagrams and an extensive bibliography.
