About

David Komuves is a leading scholar at the intersection of artificial intelligence, intellectual property law, and legal ethics. His most-cited work, "A fourth law of robotics? Copyright and the law and ethics of machine co-production" (2015, 30 citations), explores the profound legal and ethical challenges posed by AI-generated content, particularly in copyright and authorship. Komuves draws on the legacy of Jon Bing—a pioneer in AI law and a prolific fiction writer—to argue that as AI co-production becomes reality, legal frameworks must evolve beyond traditional human-centric models. His research critically examines how machine creativity disrupts existing copyright doctrines and proposes new ethical guidelines for human-machine collaboration. Beyond this seminal paper, Komuves has contributed to the broader discourse on technology regulation, focusing on the responsibilities of creators and the legal status of AI outputs. His work is essential for students and researchers grappling with the future of law in an age of intelligent machines, offering both a rigorous legal analysis and a visionary perspective on the ethical dimensions of technological progress.
