THE CONCEPT OF HYBRID AUTHORSHIP (A UNIT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A CO-AUTHOR OF A PERSON IN CREATING THE RESULTS OF INTELLECTUAL ACTIVITY)

The article examines the concepts of artificial intelligence, as well as the problems of authorship of works created by artificial intelligence units. Variations in application of the artificial intelligence unit, when its contribution compared with the human one is increased, do not always allow recognizing a man as the only author of the work with full certainty. Not to mention those situations in which contribution of a man to direct activity of creating a work is minimal or absent at all. At present, the share of human participation in the processes of creating inventions is relatively large, but it is expected that human participation will decline with a corresponding increase in the share of participation of artificial intelligence. Today, it is quite possible to have works which authorship is difficult to establish due to the absence of any person whose participation as a result of the work of the computer would be sufficiently close and original, essential to establish authorship. There is controversy over whether the human contribution to the results of the intellectual activity generated by the computer is really too low to identify the author. All this requires a fundamental scientific and legal research and rethinking of the thematic horizon of artificial intelligence, specifically in the field of intellectual property. And first of all civil-law scientific research, because the attractor (center of convergence) of the whole set of issues of the thematic horizon of artificial intelligence and law is the question of the legal status of the artificial intelligence unit. Rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies and units necessitates adequate and timely development of appropriate legislative regulation in this area. This is quite difficult without proper understanding and adequate interpretation of the term «artificial intelligence». Accordingly, in the framework of this study, the question of the legal definition of the concept of «artificial intelligence» becomes very important.
