Agenda Digitale examines the ongoing legal debate surrounding copyright laws and AI-generated content, focusing on the regulatory differences between the United States and the European Union. The article highlights how AI’s capacity to create original works—such as art, music, and literature—has sparked complex legal questions about authorship and intellectual property rights.

In the EU, legal frameworks are evolving to recognize certain rights for AI-generated works, emphasizing transparency and accountability. Meanwhile, in the US, the Copyright Office has largely refused to grant protections to works without direct human authorship, reinforcing the idea that only human creators can hold copyright. This transatlantic divide has led to legal uncertainties, particularly for businesses operating in both markets.

The article also explores ongoing court cases and legislative proposals aimed at addressing these challenges, stressing the urgent need for a coherent legal approach that balances innovation with the protection of intellectual property rights in the AI age.
