Differences in the Definition of an Author under Copyright Laws of the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany in the Context of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
such, identifying the authors identity is a matter of priority.
??As science and technology advances, granting author status to anyone has been discussed under copyright law since Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony in 1884, and the development of artificial intelligence technology is again an issue of legal issues concerning the confirmation of author status of artificial intelligence products. Though it was thought that artificial intelligence products should be protected by
law, the problem is that only creations expressing human thoughts or emotions can be protected under the current copyright law. In addition,
only human beings can be recognized as authors in precedents and theories.
??This paper introduces the author problem of the distant, recent issue of artificial intelligence products and review the authors concept
through content on the authors concept of Anglo-American and continental law countries.
