The problem of determining the subject of copyright for works created by artificial intelligence

The article examines the status of the author of works created as a result of the activity of artificial intelligence. Since the duration of legal protection depends on the duration of the author's life, in conjunction with the norms of Article 1257 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, we can conclude that a work as an object of copyright can only be created by a person. Nevertheless, the presence of the figure of a secondary copyright holder allows us to talk about the possibility of removing the personalist approach to copyright in a work. In this regard, it is quite acceptable to assume the possibility of expanding or reinterpreting the concept of "author of a work" in the context of works created by artificial intelligence, which would allow us to consider a wide range of subjects as authors, and not limit it only to individuals - the creators of the work.
