THE CRIME OF INFRINGING COPYRIGHTS BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

This research addresses a newly emerging issue in contemporary jurisprudence namely, the infringement of authors' rights through artificial intelligence (AI), which has acquired both material and moral value. This development necessitates the establishment of protection mechanisms to prevent violations, fraud, and the exploitation of others' efforts. It is evident to any discerning mind the positive effects of such protection, such as preserving interests, achieving justice, and thereby contributing to the advancement and progress of the world.At the conclusion of the research, we documented the findings we reached, the most significant of which is that the infringement of authors' rights through AI by exploiting and benefiting from the fruits of their efforts is unlawful and considered a form of unjustly consuming others' wealth, an act that is clearly prohibited. The foundation and core of law lie in the establishment of justice among people and the prevention of injustice and violation of others' rights.We recommended a legislative amendment that would define an appropriate criminal penalty proportionate to the crime of infringing on authors’ rights through AI, with a focus on alternative criminal penalties. These include the suspension of punishment execution, supervised probation, conditional release, community service, fines, deferred sentencing, judicial reprimand, exile, compulsory education as a penalty, installment-based penalties, and pledging to maintain public order.
