Abstract

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought rapid and ongoing changes, raising important legal and economic questions. AI is typically defined as systems or machines that imitate human intelligence and improve through data. With the development of autonomous generative AI, which creates original content using machine learning, intellectual property (IP) law is facing new challenges. These AI systems can produce artistic works based on human-provided data, affecting the creative industries significantly. IP rights protect the moral and financial interests of creators, encouraging innovation. However, a major legal debate has emerged over whether AI-generated works can be protected under current copyright laws, which are traditionally human-centered. This situation calls for an evaluation of existing legal frameworks to determine if they can accommodate the unique nature of AI-generated content.

Özet

Yapay zekâ (YZ), önemli hukuki ve ekonomik soruları gündeme getiren hızlı ve sürekli değişimlere yol açmıştır. YZ, genellikle insan zekâsını taklit eden ve veri yoluyla gelişen sistemler olarak tanımlanır. Makine öğrenmesiyle çalışan özerk üretken YZ'nin gelişmesiyle birlikte, fikri mülkiyet hukuku yeni zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Bu sistemler, insan girdilerine dayanarak sanatsal eserler üretebilmekte ve yaratıcı sektörleri önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Fikri mülkiyet hakları, eser sahiplerinin manevi ve mali haklarını koruyarak yeniliği teşvik eder. Ancak, YZ tarafından üretilen eserlerin mevcut telif hakkı yasaları kapsamında korunup korunamayacağı konusunda ciddi bir tartışma vardır. Geleneksel olarak insan merkezli olan bu yasaların, YZ’nin getirdiği yeni durumlara nasıl uyum sağlayacağı hukuki açıdan değerlendirilmelidir.
