Infinite Exclusivity: Generative AI’s Endless Challenges to the “Exclusive Right” in European Copyright Frameworks

As generative AI (GAI) tools render contemporary works increasingly fluid and interactive, the modalities by which we engage with creativity are undergoing a paradigm shift, fundamentally challenging exclusivity-dependant modes of rights protection. By directly engaging with pioneering current-state uses of GAI tools in contemporary music and art communities, the author presents a riposte to the mounting orthodoxy worldwide that we must determine a requisite level and nature of interaction with GAI tools to receive authorship over a work, exhibiting such an approach as expressly un-auditable and unenforceable.
