Abstract
ChatGPT is one of the most popular generative AIs because it can independently create content, such as drafting articles and writing books or poetry, without human intervention. This content can be original and may be considered copyrightable work. Consequently, generative AI intersects with copyright law, raising numerous legal concerns, including ownership and authorship. This paper examines ChatGPT’s policy from an intellectual property (IP) perspective, with a particular focus on copyright law. While ChatGPT poses challenges to copyright law globally, this research explicitly addresses the Copyright laws of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
This study examines whether the copyright laws of the GCC countries, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, are adequate to address the legal implications of generative AI, namely ChatGPT. If not, how could they be amended to address the legal implications and keep pace with cutting-edge technology? It is necessary to regulate generative AI in the IP rights domain, specifically in the copyright laws of the GCC countries. Therefore, this paper proposes critical recommendations for reforming these laws.
