Abstract:
Using generative AI to produce work raises questions about the originality of the work. Originality requires not only labour, but also skill and creativity efforts. Applying this standard to works generated by or with the assistance of AI is problematic because the works do not necessarily qualify as works protected by copyright law. AI systems rearrange existing knowledge rather than create something entirely new, challenging the idea that their outputs could be considered original under copyright law. This issue of originality is important to determine whether the work could be protected by copyright. That is why an appropriate method is needed to assess the originality of work produced with the help of generative AI. This article provides a proposed method for assessing originality from an Indonesian legal perspective.
