ARFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPYRIGHT: LEGAL CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS IN THE AGE OF GENERATIVE AI

This study examines the challenges generative AI poses to traditional copyright frameworks, specifically addressing authorship, ownership, and the applicability of laws such as the Copyright and Related Rights Law of Uzbekistan. Through doctrinal research and comparative international analysis, the research finds that most jurisdictions require human authorship, thereby excluding purely AI-generated works from protection while potentially admitting content with substantial human creative input. The study highlights the tension between anthropocentric copyright principles and emerging AI capabilities. To address this, it proposes a hybrid legal framework incorporating modified authorship standards, transparency mandates, and new intellectual property categories. The research concludes that adaptive legislative reform and international harmonization are essential to balance AI innovation with the protection of human creativity.
