Description: BRAID is a UK-wide programme dedicated to integrating Arts and Humanities research more fully into the Responsible AI ecosystem, as well as bridging the divides between academic, industry, policy and regulatory work on responsible AI (https://braiduk.org/). We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers in the Bridging Responsible AI Divides (BRAID) Programme. Views are our own and do not reflect those of our institutions, organisations or individuals partnered with us in our projects, the BRAID programme as a whole, or other BRAID researchers.

Historically grounded in philosophical traditions emphasizing labor, personhood, and social utility, IP law presumes human intention and moral desert as core rationales for granting exclusive rights. However, generative models-capable of producing art, code, literature, and inventions autonomously-challenge these assumptions. This chapter interrogates whether existing human-centric IP justifications remain normatively sound when the "creator" may be an algorithm devoid of consciousness or volition. It argues that this epistemological and ontological shift exposes the need for considering the role of IP theory. This chapter advocates for a normative reappraisal of IP theory in light of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs, with their emphases on inclusive innovation, access to knowledge, climate action, and global equity, offer a values-based framework to assess whether IP rights for AI-generated works support or hinder broader social objectives. By engaging critically with theories of Lockean labor, Hegelian recognition, utilitarianism, and the commons, the paper explores whether post-human creativity calls for a re-evaluation of IP policies reconciled with IP theory. Ultimately, it posits that IP regimes are and have always been evolving to prioritise human flourishing. Rather than asking who owns AI output, the chapter attempts at asking how exclusive rights can serve the public interest in a post-human creative economy. This reorientation-from entitlement to responsibility-may be a turning point to align IP with the challenges of sustainable development in the 21st century.

AI technology increasingly supports dispute resolution, including internal content claims, notice-and-takedown procedures and ODR services. AI can be applied in civil or criminal enforcement to implement blocking injunctions and facilitate alternative administrative blocking mechanisms. However, questions persist regarding the reliability and legal clarity of AIpowered content moderation tools in these procedures. ...
