• Resumen

  • The debate on whether a work created by AI should be protected is waging on and divides academics into three groups: (1) the ones who maintain a traditional view, arguing that Intellectual Property was made by humans to regulate humans and the works of human intellect, (2) the ones who advocate a redefinition of the concept of intellectual creation, opposing the first view with a more progressive one and (3) those who consider that the law should find an intermediate solution, as the situation is analogous to the employer/employee context (Gürkaynak et al. 2017). However, the main purpose of this paper is not to participate on the above-mentioned discussion. On the contrary, it is assumed that the matter will soon be resolved and, therefore, other important notions in the Intellectual Property’s universe, namely, originality and creativity. The bottomline question is the following: considering the European framework, can artwork created by AI be regarded as creative and thus, original?
