人工智能生成物的独创性认定

Identification of Originality of AI Generated Content

摘要: 我国现有的两份有关人工智能生成物侵权纠纷的判决中对人工智能生成物是否应受著作权保护这一问题作出了完全相反的认定。对于人工智能生成物可否受保护这一问题最大的争议在于生成物是否具有独创性。既然在不考虑人工智能并非自然人这一点的情况下，其生成物可以被认定为作品，那么就不能因为其生成过程不属于人的创作而将其排除出著作权保护的范围。人工智能生成的过程同样存在选择和判断，个性则应被理解为有选择的余地。

Abstract: The two existing judgments on the in-fringement disputes of the content generated by AI in China have made completely opposite determinations on the issue of whether the content generated by AI should be protected by copyright. The biggest controversy over the question of whether the content can be protected lies in whether the content is original. Since the content can be recognized as a work without considering the fact that AI is not a natural person, it cannot be excluded from the scope of copyright just because the process of its generation is not a human creation. The process of AI generating still includes choice and judgment, and individuality should be understood as having a margin of choice.
