人工智能作曲与其版权问题之哲思

Thoughts on Artificial Intelligence Composition and Copyright Issues

摘要: 人工智能这一概念虽诞生于二十世纪中期却于二十一世纪兴起并蓬勃发展，与基因工程、纳米科学合称为本世纪三大尖端技术，并成为计算机、法学、医学、艺术学等多个领域讨论研究的热点话题。音乐曲目被认为是运用一定的乐理规则并寄托了作曲家想表达的本人或是对生活、社会环境等情感的艺术作品，故而当其与人工智能结合在一起时，便会引发人们对科技、伦理、法律相融合的一系列思考，人工智能如何学习乐理？如何创作曲目？如何承载音乐曲目最重要的情感寄托？尤其对于可作曲的人工智能究竟是“谁”？、所作之曲为“谁”所做等疑问，归根到底，即是人工智能作曲与其版权之间的诸多联系。

Abstract: The concept of artificial intelligence, though born in the mid-20th century, has risen and flourished in the 21st century, being hailed alongside genetic engineering and nanotechnology as the three cutting-edge technologies of this era. It has become a hot topic of discussion and research in various fields such as computer science, law, medicine, and arts. Music compositions are considered to be artistic works that apply certain rules of music theory and convey the composer’s personal emotions or reflections on life and society. Therefore, when music is combined with artificial intelligence, it triggers a series of considerations on the integration of technology, ethics, and law. Questions arise such as how artificial intelligence can learn music theory, compose music, and convey the most important emotional aspects of music compositions. Particularly intriguing is the question of who the composer of artificial intelligence-generated music really is and who owns the rights to the compositions, ultimately highlighting the complex relationship between artificial intelligence in music composition and its copyright issues.
