Abstract:
Abstract: The article addresses the problems of criminal law protection of intellectual property created with the use of artificial intelligence technologies. The purpose of the study is to identify criteria for distinguishing authorship in relation to such results and to assess the legislative mechanisms of liability for actors involved in AI technological chains. Based on an analysis of doctrinal approaches and the draft Federal Law “On the Fundamentals of State Regulation of the Application of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in the Russian Federation”, the paper substantiates the creative contribution criterion as a basis for recognising authorship and acquiring exclusive rights. It is shown that the liability model proposed in the draft law conflicts with the criminal law principles of fault and legality. The study formulates de lege ferenda proposals to clarify the regime of protection of intellectual property created with the use of AI.
