The autonomous generation of technical inventions by artificial intelligence creates a profound epistemological crisis within strictly anthropocentric global patent systems. This study aimed to critically analyze the legal standing of artificial inventors and resolve this acute normative vacuum through a comparative doctrinal methodology. The research found that major jurisdictions uniformly reject granting legal personhood to autonomous machines, restricting the inventor designation to biological humans. In Indonesia, although the recent patent amendment successfully expanded protection for digital inventions, it fatally neglected the statutory definition of an inventor, triggering a severe regulatory paradox. This article asserts that granting full legal personhood to artificial intelligence is fundamentally flawed; instead, it proposes the doctrine of augmented inventorship. By mandating a rigorous technical audit through a hybrid contribution statement, this prescriptive framework guarantees absolute traceability of human conception. Ultimately, this novel approach provides an international model that stimulates technological investment while safeguarding intellectual property integrity.
