The Research On The Ownership Of Copyright Of AI-generated Content

Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) has significantly enriched society by producing a wide range of high-quality cultural products, offering aesthetic experiences comparable to traditional creations. However, the issue of ownership in legal practice remains ambiguous due to the involvement of multiple creators in the production process. To address this, the copyright granting process can be divided into initial authorization and subsequent rights transfer to delineate the rights of various parties involved. Current theories suggest that the commissioned works model effectively safeguards the interests of all parties by granting initial authorization to the hardware owner of the artificial intelligence while protecting the rights of the AI user through contracts. Moreover, lawmakers should enhance the current copyright law system, emphasize the importance of human involvement in generative artificial intelligence outputs, and establish collaborative mechanisms at the societal level to balance the interests of all parties involved. This approach will provide clarity and fairness in the ownership and distribution of rights associated with AI-generated products.
