AI can now make things that look like they were made by humans like art, music, stories, code, designs, and even new inventions. This raises a big question: who should own these creations, and why?
Courts and governments are trying to decide rules about authorship, originality, ownership, and copying. The challenge is to support human creators while also allowing AI to grow responsibly.
To make this work, we need clear rules about how AI uses training data, what counts as fair use and how licensing works.
These rules should be supported worldwide to protect creativity, attract investment, stop misuse, and let AI help humans instead of replacing them.
