Who's the creator?
A human person, for sure. Not the AI.Who's the creator?
Maybe he meant the profession.because I don't understand the question
I would say that it is not unlikely that today an AI SW can design (create) electronic circuits.Maybe he meant the profession.
If so - i can reply more clear: it's created by the electronic engineer. Like me.
Who can (invent the circuit diagram and next) create the PCB, placing the components and making the traces routing according to the circuit diagram and many other requirements for RF emission, signal interferences, current levels, high voltage limits etc.
Software circuit analysis has been well known for many years, the simulation language and engine SPICE is well known - so, yes, seems, the AI will be able to create the electronics when having more power to "invent" it. I mean the circuit diagrams, but PCB design is much more complex task.AI SW can design (create) electronic circuits
Actually, if the sch is unique and really useful - the PCB, construction, case... can be done by any other implementer...Who is the creator of this project—Mr. A or Mr. B?
Sometimes its not about who is the creator, but, more who is the owner.Who's the creator?

The word creator is the spinner in the question.
@Peter Simpson is using the UK legal interpretation.
@AHilton tends to be more the rule.
In this country we have law based in the Roman-Dutch form (but applicable law flavours are fairly universal). Whatever that means in this context.
If memory serves, from my days as a journalist here, copyright is vested in the person who paid for the work to be done. Which is not to say anything about the question of who is the creator. All of that is subject to contract law, here, one can write a contract which retains the copyright, but, makes the person who paid the owner. But, one of the interesting things in all of this is that (again if memory serves) the person who translates a book is owner of the copyright in the translation. Which would beg the question in your case - did B simply translate the drawing into the "language" of PCB - which patently looks completely different from the concept drawing.
If I go paparazzi and start taking photos of Taylor Swift and selling them - its a big technical whether I need to have her permission to do that. I own the photo but she created the image.
Mostly, one ends up with a plagiarism claim, which is what @emexes is getting at. That's just that A created the drawing (concept/intellectual property) prior to B [provided of course that A dated the drawing]. And, then, naturally, B profits (illegally).
So, its back to the creator-owner conundrum.
A created the concept; B implemented the design. What was the contract between them?
There again, one cannot patent or copyright an idea - where does that put A?
Now if one has worked in the academic world as long as some of us have ....... well lets not go into that darkness.
you should start a new thread for this question......In 2007 in Philadelphia, two groups of lawyers representing two companies, were discussing who is responsible for the insurance if comet halley hit the earth!!
Happy new year to you and to all B4Xersyou should start a new thread for this question......
happy new '25.
