Who owns a work created with artificial intelligence? As generative AI becomes part of everyday creative and professional practice, questions about authorship, copyright, infringement, and ownership have moved from theoretical debate into the decisions facing artists, developers, businesses, lawyers, and policymakers. AI LAW examines the legal principles that govern these questions and the areas where the law remains unsettled.

The book explores the distinction between human authorship and machine-generated output, the significance of human creative control, and the treatment of AI-assisted works under copyright law. It considers disputes and administrative decisions involving AI-generated images and other creative material, including the limits of protection for works produced without sufficient human authorship. It also addresses questions surrounding the training of AI systems on existing works and the legal risks arising from generated outputs.

Drawing on legal developments in the United States and comparisons with approaches in the European Union, United Kingdom, Japan, and China, the book explains how different legal systems are responding to rapidly changing technology. It combines practical examples with analysis of emerging legal standards and the policy choices underlying them.

Written for legal professionals, creators, technology companies, students, and others working with generative AI, AI LAW offers a framework for understanding what existing law answers, what remains contested, and why the distinction between human creativity and machine generation matters.
