Research On Copyright Ownership of Products Using Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence technology is booming in the digital economy era. In view of the legal attributes of the subject and object of artificial intelligence, there have been many controversies in the theoretical and academic circles. For example, some scholars advocate that products involving artificial intelligence ought to be covered under copyright from the standpoint of "objectivism". However, some scholars think that copyright protection should not be given to them from the perspective of "subjectivism". The copyright ownership of artificial intelligence products is currently debated in three mainstream theories: "producer theory", "creator theory" and "user theory". In fact, the "user theory" is more reasonable from three aspects: the composition characteristics of works, the social significance of legal protection and the principle of unity of rights and obligations. Therefore, at the institutional level, we should try to clarify the status of artificial intelligence products and the copyright subject of artificial intelligence products is artificial intelligence users, in order to achieve legal protection, an artificial intelligence declaration system must be established.
