Redefining Originality: Human Creativity vs. Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have redefined the boundaries of creativity, challenging traditional notions of originality that have long been rooted in human cognitive processes and emotional engagement. This paper investigates the evolving paradigm of originality by juxtaposing human creativity with AI-generated outputs. Traditional definitions emphasize personal intellectual effort and emotional input as prerequisites for originality, a standard that AI-generated works often fail to meet due to their reliance on pre existing data and algorithmic processes. This divergence raises critical legal and philosophical questions about copyright protection, authorship, and ownership.
