Oluwole Agbelade (Lagos State University – Faculty of Law) has posted The Jurisprudence of AI Disruption: Copyright, Business Innovation, and the Future of Cyber-Regulation on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
Business operations, legal practice, and intellectual property frameworks particularly copyright law have all undergone significant change as a result of the quick adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across a variety of industries. The jurisprudence of AI-driven disruption is examined in this study with an emphasis on how it affects copyright, corporate innovation, and the direction of cyber-regulation. AI has improved efficiency while upending conventional ideas of authorship and ownership in copyright law by automating legal duties including contract generation, document inspection, and legal analytics. AI's ability to produce and modify artistic creations poses new queries about what it means to "create" in the digital world, calling for a reinterpretation of long-standing legal doctrines. Furthermore, AI's role in supporting corporate innovation in industries such as content development, commerce, and cross-border transactions highlights its transformational potential, but it also raises ethical questions about bias, decision-making responsibility, and data privacy. This article examines how AI connects with existing legal and ethical frameworks, using ideas from legal theory, case studies, and technology breakthroughs such as IBM Watson. It proposes a dynamic regulatory strategy that goes beyond data privacy to include algorithm responsibility and digital rights management. By addressing these complications, this study presents a forward-thinking jurisprudence to ensure AI upholds the principles of equity and justice in an ever-changing digital context.
