The world is currently witnessing a fourth industrial revolution called the (digital revolution), characterized by a group of new technologies in which the physical world merges with the digital or technological world, including the artificial intelligence revolution, which is based on the integration of the contemporary technological revolution in the field of systems science, computers, and automatic control on the one hand, and logic, mathematics, languages, and psychology on the other hand, and has cast its shadow and influence on all areas of economic, social, cultural, artistic, medical, military, and other life. Generative artificial intelligence is a type of general or strong artificial intelligence programming, whose programming is based on converting inputs into the required outputs independently, and without human intervention, that is, without intervention from the programmer. The outputs may be the generation of text, images, videos, speech, programming code, poetry, novels, music, and other artistic and literary works or innovation or invention. Our research highlights the extent to which the writings and inventions generated by artificial intelligence are covered by the civil protection of copyright, or patents according to the racial laws related to this topic.
