Software development by AI raises new problems for the protection of software. Recognising AI as a right-holder in relation to software could be troublesome. Compared to the subject-matter of other intellectual property, AI developed software is essentially the same as its suggested author. Therefore, there is a risk that the subject-matter of intellectual property rights would become a subject with the capacity to possess such rights. Thus, the proposed solution herein would be to treat AI merely as a tool rather than a subject with the capacity to possess intellectual property rights.
