Extent of Getting Generative AI Accommodated by Traditional Intellectual Property Laws (Comparative Analytical Study)

Abstract

Techniques of the generative artificial intelligence contribute to make significant shifts in the world of content creation, extending from arts and music to literature and software development. This progress requires reviewing and updating the legal framework of world intellectual property in general and that of the Egyptian intellectual property in particular, in order to keep pace with those achievements and ensure protection for the works result from that technology. The meant study focuses on assessment of the extent of Egyptian laws, pertaining to intellectual property, to accommodate the innovations created by generative artificial intelligence, while underscoring the existing legal loopholes and proposing legislative amendments aimed to enhance legal protection of creators, beneficiaries and the entire society. The study relied on the methodology of comparative legal analysis with compared systems such as the European Union, United States and China to clarify similarities and differences relevant to subject of the study, in addition to reviewing the Egyptian efforts intended to enhance and confront the challenges of the generative artificial intelligence and its generated content it generates. The study concluded that it is necessary to update to the Egyptian legislations pertaining to intellectual property to include the challenges related to the content generated by the generative artificial intelligence. The research reached a set of results and recommendations, the most important of which are: • Amend Egyptian intellectual property law No. 82 of 2002 to regulate AI use • Clearly identify legal responsibilities for intellectual property infringement by AI developers or users. • Adapt laws to rapid technological developments with continuous review mechanisms. • Provide training and resources for legislators and judges to understand AI challenges and assess its economic impacts on intellectual works.
