Artificial Intelligence: between creative work and rights

Paper by Vasiliki Papadopoulou

As artificial intelligence (AI) enters the contemporary work space with all its promises and threats, the article examines, through the example of artistic work executed through AI systems, how the creator/ user of such systems is alienated from its work or even replaced by the providers of such systems, and how the creator’s work is mediated by a third party, the provider of AI systems. The results of such alienation and mediation can be demonstrated in various fields. From the legal perspective, a question arises as to who the owner of the work is and consequently the beneficiary of intellectual property rights. Moreover, the use of AI systems raises questions about preserving equality, human rights and social justice. In the social field, the article analyses how the alienation of the creator from its work and the mediation of a third party in the creative process both shake the identity of the creator as a social subject, who is deprived of its voice in the creative process and consequently, in its workplace and social environment.
