AI and Copyright: Who Owns the Future of Creativity?

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) pushes the boundaries of creativity—writing books, composing music, and designing art—it raises a critical legal question: Who owns the rights to AI-generated works?

Globally, countries like the U.S. and EU are grappling with this issue. The U.S. Copyright Office, for instance, limits copyright to human authorship, while the EU explores frameworks that recognize AI's role alongside its human creators.

In Mauritius, where AI adoption is growing, the current intellectual property laws remain silent on this. This presents a golden opportunity to lead the way by crafting AI-focused IP policies that balance innovation and ownership. Should we adopt global models or pioneer a unique approach?

Let’s start the conversation! How do you think Mauritius should address IP in the age of AI?
