论人工智能创作物的邻接权保护——理论证成与制度安排

On the Protection of Artificial Intelligence Creations through Neighboring Rights:The Theoretical Justification and Institutional Arrangement

对人工智能创作物如何保护,当前立法并未明确,理论界也是众说纷纭。对人工智能创作物直接按照人类作品的保护方式进行保护,必然会导致以激励人类知识创新为核心的著作权制度在理论上难以自洽。人工智能创作物因投资人的“非创作性投入”而产生,投资人的利益应当成为相关法律制度的保护重心。将人工智能创作物纳入邻接权制度保护范围进行保护,不仅可以从理论上明晰人类作品与人工智能创作物的界限,也可解决人工智能创作物法律保护的现实困境,不失为人工智能创作物法律保护的可行路径。

The current legislation is not clear about how to protect Artificial Intelligence( AI) creations,and there are different opinions in the theory field. The protection of AI creations directly in accordance with the protection of human works will inevitably lead to the inconsistency of the copyright system with the core of stimulating human knowledge innovation in theory. AI creations are produced by the"non-creative input"of the investors,and the interests of the investors should be the protection focus of the relevant legal system. AI creations should be included in the protection scope of neighboring rights system,which can not only clarify the boundaries between human works and AI creations theoretically,but also solve the practical dilemma of legal protection of AI creations. It is a feasible path for the legal protection of AI creations.
