Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Nowadays people’s lives are hugely affected by artificial intelligence (AI). For exam-ple, machines text quickly, develop software, and create different types of arts. One may notice that many of the sport and business news which are accessible on the net are written by machines. According to the current legal framework of many states, AI-generated works are generally viewed as a simple tool. However, with the develop-ment of advanced AI machines, this perspective has undergone a significant shift. The emergence of AI has hugely posed challenges to intellectual property law, in par-ticular copyright. In copyright sphere, AI-generated machines have risen some legal disputes whether AI can be the author of creative works, how AI works need to be protected or who owns the rights for such works. The paper aims to address the aforementioned questions and to clarify copyright issues arising from AI machines. The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of legal regulations govern-ing copyrighted works produced by AI machines in developed countries and subse-quently offer relevant recommendations to improve national (Kazakh) copyright law concerning AI-generated machines. Based on foreign practice, the author argues that when it comes to creative works generated by computer machines, the individual who has made the necessary arrangements for the creation of such works should be con-sidered the author.
