生成式人工智能的著作权问题研究

Research on Copyright Issues of Generative Artificial Intelligence

摘要: 随着生成式人工智能技术的普及，生成内容的法律界定及权利归属问题引发广泛争议，对现行著作权制度构成挑战，研究此类问题具有重要的理论和实际意义。本文以生成式人工智能生成内容能否成为著作权法保护对象及权利归属为研究对象，以现行著作权法律框架为基础，结合国内实践案例，采用规范分析文献分析等方法，重点探讨生成内容的可版权性及权利主体界定路径，明确了“智力投入”的司法界定标准。研究发现，生成内容的可保护性需结合人类创造性投入程度综合判定，而著作权归属应以“智力投入者”这一概念来予以界定。通过在符合法律范围的基础上兼顾发展目标，有利于为构建技术创新与权益保护的制度方案提供有益参考。

Abstract: With the widespread adoption of generative AI technology, legal debates over content creation’s copyrightability and ownership rights have intensified, posing challenges to existing copyright frameworks. This study investigates whether AI-generated content qualifies for copyright protection and establishes its rightful ownership, grounded in China’s current legal system. Through normative analysis and case studies, it explores copyright determinations and authorship attribution pathways, proposing a judicial standard for defining “intellectual input”. The research demonstrates that copyright protection should be assessed through a comprehensive evaluation of human creativity contributions, with ownership attribution rooted in the concept of “intellectual contributors”. By balancing technological advancement with legal compliance, this work provides valuable insights for developing institutional mechanisms that harmonize innovation with rights protection.
