Related Rights in AI-Generated Works: A Philosophical-Legal Study on Replacing the Creativity Standard with an Investment-Based Standard

   The paper substantiates the necessity of providing legal protection for the results of intellectual works created by artificial intelligence through the mechanism of related rights. It examines ways to reduce legal risks associated with the creation of intellectual property using artificial intelligence technologies and offers a philosophical and legal analysis of the proposed hypothesis, namely, replacing the creativity criterion with the investment criterion as the basis for protectability. According to the author’s concept, the philosophical and legal foundation for replacing the creativity criterion may be found in the extrapolation of Martin Heidegger’s category Man to artificial intelligence within the paradigm of the communicative theory of law. Artificial intelligence should not be endowed with legal personality, and the creativity criterion should be replaced by the investment criterion. Consequently, legal protection through the granting of related rights should also be extended to AIgenerated results of intellectual activity, which the author refers to as Mancreativity.
