Indeed, the criteria for copyright protection cannot be met, except by adopting a paradigm shift. Therefore, it appears interesting to seek legal solutions on the grounds of patent law or on the grounds of related rights. AI machines being themselves patentable, the outputs generated by these machines could find an ideal ground in patent law. Otherwise, the exploiters of these new kinds of creations could still be granted new related rights to be developed by legislators. These two possible solutions present the advantage of respecting the spirit of intellectual property law, thus avoiding disruption of the existing legal framework.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-text-image\">\n  <div class=\"row align-bottom collapse\">\n    <div class=\"column small-12 medium-6 xlarge-5 xxlarge-expand wp-block-text-image-info js-fade-scroll\">\n      <p class=\"wp-block-text-image-title\">Iony RANDRIANIRINA<\/p>\n      <div class=\"wp-block-text-image-intro\"><p>Iony RANDRIANIRINA is Assistant Professor at the University of Grenoble Alpes and Researcher at Centre de Recherches Juridiques (CRJ &#8211; UR 1965).
