This paper evaluates the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on traditional concepts of authorship, ownership, and copyright under intellectual property (IP) law, drawing comparative insights from the European Union and China. In consideration of the recent court decisions and the January 2025 U.S. Copyright Office report re-emphasizing the “human ‘creator’” requirement, this work studies how different systems of copyright can respond to creativity aided by AI without undermining the protection of human creators. The paper calls for an approach that separates AI developers from users and allocates rights depending on the amount of human contribution involved. In the end, it offers more IP-centric solutions in response to the challenges of new technologies, policies that enable creation while preserving IP principles in the digital age.
