Abstract Since music is a representative example of a creation that expresses human thoughts or emotions, the protection of the right to creation is usually leant toward copyright. Due to the dramatic growth of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, music made by AI has recently begun to emerge. Despite many discussions about AI-made music and its rights, it is impossible to grant copyright to AI-made music unless the legal premise that the creation is possible only by human being is broken. In this situation, this paper considers how to protect music made by AI through patents. |
