ABSTRACT
This article examines how works created by artificial intelligence (AI) systems, or with their support, are protected under copyright law and affiliated regimes. It first looks at the conditions under which copyright protection may be granted to such works from a German and Belgian perspective. Subsequently, the article deals with alternative IP protection mechanisms for such works. It then presents the current European Union policy initiatives and the World Intellectual Property Organization consultation in this regard. The article concludes by suggesting contractual protection mechanisms for AI-generated works and providing a blueprint for how these could look in practice.
