This book examines the legal challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) in copyright law, focusing on Indonesia while using the European Union (EU) as a benchmark. It explores whether AI-generated works should qualify for copyright protection, how rights over these works should be allocated, and which stakeholders should be recognised in the process. By addressing these critical issues, the book provides a framework for balancing legal protection with public interests, offering insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and intellectual property practitioners.

Adopting a comparative and socio-legal approach, this book analyses Indonesia's evolving copyright landscape alongside the EU's response to AI-generated works. While Indonesia prioritizes AI development, its copyright law remains rooted in human authorship, creating legal uncertainties for AI-generated works, despite the significant human contributions involved. This book offers a novel perspective on how middle-income countries can adapt their copyright systems in response to technological advancements.

To address the gap in existing copyright law, potential protection models, including sui generis rights and neighbouring rights, are examined. These alternatives advocate for a balanced approach that fosters innovation while safeguarding human contributors. Through the comparative analysis and policy-driven recommendations, the book is an essential resource for academics, legal professionals, and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving intersection of AI and copyright law.
