论人工智能生成内容的著作权保护

On the Copyright Protection of Content Generated by Artificial Intelligence

摘要: 近年来，人工智能的迅猛发展，冲击着以“人类作者为中心”的传统作品的构成要件，急需传统著作权制度对人工智能生成内容的法律属性、权利归属问题等系列著作权难题作出回应。本文试图通过比较论证国内外人工智能生成内容的法律制度及司法实践，在不突破我国现有《著作权法》制度框架的前提下，从作品的“智力成果”要件和“独创性”要件两方面解释、分析，从而肯定人工智能生成内容属于我国《著作权法》意义上的作品，得出人工智能生成内容应受到我国《著作权法》保护的结论。

Abstract: In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has impacted the constituent elements of traditional works centered on “human authors”, and it is urgent for the traditional copyright system to respond to a series of copyright problems, such as the legal attributes and rights ownership of AI-generated content. This paper attempts to compare and demonstrate the legal systems and judicial practices of AI-generated content at home and abroad and explain and analyze from the two aspects of “intellectual achievement” and “originality” elements of works on the premise of not breaking through the existing institutional framework of China’s Copyright Law, so as to affirm that AI-generated content belongs to works within the meaning of China’s Copyright Law and draw the conclusion that AI-generated content should be protected by China’s Copyright Law.
