''With the rise of AI, artistic creation of content is no longer a purely human enterprise. Currently works made by AI are considered to be computer assisted or aided works and copyright/patent right is vested in the human being who uses Al as a tool. However, questions have arisen as who owns the copyright/patent right in AI generated works where there is no human input. Is it the inventor of the AI? Or might the AI be given a certain degree of legal subject status and thus have its own rights?. Section 4 of the Copyrights and neighboring Rights Act, 20061 provides that the author of any work specified in section 5 shall have a right of protection of the work, where work is original and is reduced to material form in whatever method irrespective of quality of the work or the purpose for which it is created.  Most of the literature on whether AI can own intellectual property rights and how IP law can be amended to carter for AI is from developed countries like US & UK. There is an existing gap in literature from developing countries like Uganda, which, although they are not experiencing rapid technological developments in AI, will nevertheless be affected by AI's disruptiveness especially to their legal regime especially intellectual property. This research seeks to cover this gap by addressing how Uganda’s IP law can be updated to carter for AI-generated works. This research will be done while taking into account Uganda.
