Artificial intelligence and intellectual property rights: the situation in Thailand

While AI offers significant opportunities, it challenges legal concepts developed around human creators and inventors. AI systems are trained using potentially copyrighted data, while their outputs may resemble existing works or generate content that would traditionally qualify for IP protection if created by a human.
