INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GOVERNANCE IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: REGULATORY FRAGMENTATION AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF DIGITAL AUTHORI
Abstrak
Regulatory fragmentation surrounding artificial Intelligence (AI) and intellectual property governance reflects deeper transformations in the organization of digital authority rather than mere doctrinal inconsistency. Existing scholarship frequently approaches AI-related copyright and patent disputes through narrow legal formalism, offering limited explanation of how algorithmic creativity reconfigures governance relations between states, multinational technology corporations, and transnational digital infrastructures. Using a comparative socio-legal and interpretive governance framework, this article analyzes legislation, judicial decisions, and regulatory instruments across the United States, the European Union, China, and selected Global South jurisdictions. The findings demonstrate that fragmented regulatory responses emerge from competing governance rationalities concerning technological sovereignty, innovation control, platform governance, and digital economic power. The article reconceptualizes intellectual property law as a contested governance arena through which authority over algorithmic production and digital innovation is increasingly negotiated within transnational technological ecosystems.
