Statement of Kristelia García Before the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet, 'Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property: Part III - IP Protection for AI-Assisted Inventions and Creative Works'

Abstract

Chairman Issa, Ranking Member Johnson, and Members of the Subcommittee: Thank you for inviting me to testify today about the prospective copyrightability of works that are generated, in whole or in part, by artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, you have asked me to speak to the legal and policy considerations relevant to the granting of copyright protection to works generated by, or with the assistance of, artificial intelligence, including whether the current definition of authorship needs to be changed, or if any other legislative intervention is called for at this time.

Keywords: AI, artificial intelligence, copyright
