著作权法视野下的人工智能生成物

Artificial Intelligence Resultants from the Perspective of Copyright Law

在判断人工智能生成物能否被纳入著作权法中的“作品”范围时,需要结合著作权法中对于“作品”一词的相关规定和著作权法的基本原则来考量。从文义解释的角度看,法条并没有将“作品”的作者限定于自然人。从鼓励创作的原则出发,对于作品的界定也不应局限于人类所创造的智力成果,而应扩展至能被人类所理解的智力成果。在判断“独创性”时,基于人工智能生成物的特殊性,可以借鉴“图灵测试”的方法,从生成物的外在表达进行判断。对于达到独创性要求的人工智能生成物给予著作权法的保护,不仅有利于文化的繁荣,还能激发投资者的研发积极性。

When judging whether artificial intelligence resultants can be included in the scope of“works”in the copyright law,it is necessary to consider the relevant provisions of the term“works”in the copyright law and the basic principles of the copyright law.From the perspective of literal interpretation,the law does not limit the author of“works”to natural person.Judging from the principle of encouraging creation,the definition of works should not be limited to the intellectual achievements created by humans,but extended to intellectual achievements that can be understood by humans.Based on the particularity of artificial intelligence resultants,we can learn from the methods applied in“Turing test”and judge from the external expression of the resultants when making a judgement about their“originality”.The protection of the artificial intelligence resultants that are what the term innovation refers to is not only good for cultural diversity,but also for stimulating the passion of researchers.
