人工智能著作权问题研究

Research on the copyright of artificial intelligence

随着社会生活的不断进步,人工智能迅速发展起来,不仅使文化、艺术等领域发生了变化,甚至影响着人类社会生活的方方面面。人工智能仍处在辅助工具阶段,人工智能创作的性质怎样确定、著作权是否存在依旧是不确定的。人工智能只能被视为人们使用的对象和工具,不能被指定为与人有同等地位的法律主体。基于这一前提,人工智能产品应该被用作人类利用人工智能创作的作品,并根据当前著作权对作品的构成要素判断其原创性。在人工智能构成作品的情况下,所有权应根据现行著作权法的规定处理。即人工智能作品的著作权原则上归属于使用人工智能创作作品的作者(自然人或者法人或者非法人单位),其他情况下属于雇主或者委托人。文章对此展开了分析。

With the continuous progress of social life, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has not only changed the fields of culture and art, but also affected all aspects of human social life. AI is still in the stage of auxiliary tools. How to determine the nature of AI creation and whether there is copyright are still uncertain. Artificial intelligence can only be regarded as the object and tool that people use, and can not be designated as the legal subject with the same status as people. Based on this premise, artificial intelligence products should be used as works created by human beings using artificial intelligence, and the originality of the works should be judged according to the constituent elements of the current copyright. In the case that artificial intelligence constitutes a work, the ownership shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the current copyright law. That is to say, in principle, the copyright of artificial intelligence works belongs to the author(natural person or legal person or illegal entity)who uses artificial intelligence to create works, and in other cases belongs to the employer or client. This paper analyzes it.
