AI creators unable to protect and monetize their work due to lack of copyright protection

Content creators, developers, and artists using AI tools face legal uncertainty about intellectual property rights for their generated works, making it impossible to establish ownership, prevent unauthorized use, or build sustainable business models. Kenya's ruling that AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted signals a broader regulatory gap that leaves creators vulnerable to theft and unable to enforce exclusive rights, forcing them to abandon AI-assisted creation or operate in legal gray areas.
