INTRODUCTION
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, individuals are relying on it to perform professional tasks, access information, generate insights and craft works ranging from poems and paintings to computer code. More interestingly, the use of AI in the production of ‘creative outputs’ is no longer confined to professionals specialized in informatics, such as artists who employ algorithmic computational methods to create their works, but has become accessible to virtually any user, including those with no expertise in such tools. However, while both instances are consistent with copyright’s principle of technological neutrality, they may raise legal (as well as ethical) concerns, especially when the outputs so created are not used for purely personal or household purposes.
