If artificial intelligence composes music, who is the author?

AI's rapid and unstoppable development raises numerous question marks in intellectual property law. It is not surprising that advances related to AI technologies and their use in the creative sector give rise to new development and business opportunities but also to new legal issues, especially related to the identification of the author of the work and the attribution of related rights. One reason for this success is that AI systems offer the most diverse application possibilities, simplifying and speeding up time-consuming processes: from music composition to mastering, from song identification tools to creating highly personalized playlists. This new technology is, therefore, changing how artists create music and audiences hear music. Applications and platforms capable of creating music online include, for example, AIVA, Endel, Xhail, Boomy, Score/Amper, Jukebox, MuseNet, ChatGPT, and, although not yet available, Google's MusicLM.
