Abstract	The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) challenges the traditional human-centric framework of patent law, particularly the designation of inventorship. This paper explores whether AI systems, capable of autonomously generating novel and patentable inventions, should be recognized as inventors. Analyzing key cases like Thaler v. Hirshfeld, it examines global legal perspectives, ethical dilemmas, and the economic implications of AI-driven innovation. The study proposes potential reforms, such as redefining inventorship or creating new intellectual property categories, to balance human creativity with AI’s transformative role. It underscores the need for international harmonization to address jurisdictional inconsistencies and ensure equitable protection of AI-generated inventions.
