dc.description.abstractThe burgeoning integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in creative industries has precipitated a paradigmatic shift in the way intellectual property is generated, disseminated, and protected. This article undertakes a critical examination of the intersectionality of digital innovation, technological advancement, and copyright law in Nigeria, with a specific focus on the implications of AI on the existing copyright framework. Through a doctrinal analysis of relevant statutes, case law, and scholarly literature, this paper interrogates the capacity of Nigerian copyright law to accommodate the nuances of AI-generated creative works, and identifies the resultant challenges and opportunities. This article argues that the current copyright regime in Nigeria is inadequate to address the complexities of AI-driven creativity, and proposes a multifaceted reform framework that integrates elements of human authorship, machine learning, and data protection. By situating the discussion within the context of Nigeria’s digital economy, this article contributes to the ongoing discourse on the future of copyright in the AI era, and offers a nuanced perspective on the role of copyright law in promoting innovation, creativity, and economic growth in the country.
