Research on Copyrightability of Artificial Intelligence Generators

Abstract

In recent years, the continuous development of artificial intelligence has brought convenience to people's lives but has also given rise to a series of problems. Among these, the gaps in laws related to artificial intelligence has sparked significant controversy, particularly with regard to copyright protection of artificial intelligence products, which has become a focal point of debate in theoretical and practical circles. Some scholars advocate for the protection of artificial intelligence products through copyright, while others argue against it. Based on this, the typical cases have been sorted out and analyzed, relevant provisions of copyright law have been studied, and the issue of the copyright for artificial intelligence products has been explored from both practical and theoretical perspectives. Additionally, in combined with scholars' viewpoints, the copyrightability of artificial intelligence-generated material is examined from the aspects of originality and intellectual achievement. The purpose of establishing the copyrightability of such material is to align with the development trend of the times and, simultaneously, to promote the enhancement of China's copyright legal system in order to foster cultural prosperity and development.
