Copyright Law and Generative AI: Who Owns the Work When the Machine Creates?

1 min. read

Copyright law was built around one core assumption: that creativity is uniquely human. But what happens when AI can generate text, images, music, and code in seconds?

In a new article published in The US-Israel Legal Review 2025/26, Dr. Eyal Brook, Head of the AI Practice at S. Horowitz, explores one of the most pressing legal questions of our time: how should copyright law adapt to the age of generative AI?

The article examines the evolving concept of authorship, the challenges AI poses to traditional copyright principles, questions of originality and ownership, and the legal frameworks that may shape the future of human and machine-assisted creativity.

As AI continues to transform the way we create, innovate, and consume content, the law faces a fundamental challenge: preserving incentives for human creativity while embracing technological progress.
