Copyright Law in the Age of Human–AI Symbiosis

Is the current legal system prepared for those who take responsibility for meaning? In an era dominated by algorithms that suggest, reconfigure, and anticipate the creative gesture, an urgent ontological question arises: can the human being still be recognized as the origin of creation? In "Copyright Law in the Age of Human–AI Symbiosis", author Cesar Agliardi Pereira presents a powerful and sophisticated defense of creative sovereignty. Far from being a mere technical legal treatise, this work dives into the crisis of the modern authorial model to propose a necessary reconstruction: authorship not as an isolated manual execution, but as an act of intellectual governance, ethical curation, and presence. What you will find in this work: The Crisis of Authorial Fiction: An analysis of how the "neutral tool" of the past has given way to active systems, and how Copyright Law must evolve to avoid obsolescence. Creative Sovereignty: The thesis that authorship resides in the imputation of meaning and responsibility for results, rather than just the technical process. Innovative Proposals: The introduction of the Ethical License for Hybrid Creation (ELHC), a model for declaring human presence in AI-assisted works. Juridico-Philosophical Rigor: A dialogue between the Berne Convention, the TRIPS Agreement, and the new frontiers of techno-cognitive symbiosis. This book is a manifesto for intellectual property lawyers, philosophers of technology, academic researchers, and all creators who refuse to disappear behind the code. It is a call for Rigor and the affirmation of human agency at the heart of the machine. As the author defines it: "I Am Not Just Data — I Exist"

Human Rights with Modesty: The Problem of Universalism

This volume considers the problem of legal universals at the level of the rule of law and human rights, which have fundamentally different pedigrees, and attempts to come to terms with the new unease arising from the universal application of human rights. Given the juridicization of human rights, rule of law and human rights expectations have become significantly intertwined: human rights are enforced with the instruments of the rule of law and are thus limited by the restricted reach thereof. The first section of this volume considers the difficulties of universalistic claims and offers a number of possible solutions for adapting universal expectations to specific contexts. The second section considers problems of human rights politics; sections three and four present empirical studies about the appearance and disappearance of the rule of law and fundamental rights in Western and non-Western societies. Special attention is paid to the problems of developing countries, with a specific focus on past and present developments in Iran. These empirical studies indicate that the acceptance of human rights and the rule of law is historically contingent and cannot simply be considered as a matter of culture.
