Copyright Protection for AI-general Works: Dilemmas and Strategies

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has led to the creation of numerous online works generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) on various platforms. The emergence of these works brings about challenges to traditional copyright protection. Traditional copyright aims to protect the legitimate rights and interests that individuals enjoy over their intellectual achievements, while AI mainly relies on algorithms. Issues such as the ownership of rights, infringement determination, and the degree of protection of works all need to be addressed. This review explores the copyright disputes involved in works generated by AI, including compliance issues, ownership issues and infringement determination. Moreover, corresponding feasible countermeasures for such issues will be discussed. Under no circumstances should the creation of works be based on laws. Nowadays, a work cannot exist independently without the support of vast amounts of data. Clearly distinguishing the attributes of works generated by AI plays an important role. This not only promotes the improvement of the legal theoretical framework in the field of intellectual property rights under the impact of AI, but also protects the legitimate rights of authors. And it conforms to the trend of the law and big data keeping pace with modern society.
