人工智能生成物著作权归属探究

On the Copyright Ownership of Artificial Intelligence Products

现阶段人工智能已可以通过深度思考及自我学习创造出各种文学艺术作品,但现有著作权法未明确规定人工智能生成物的著作权归属。现有学界理论针对人工智能生成物的权利归属学说可分为独立人格权说、邻接权说及孳息说。因为人工智能生成物具有独创性和外在表达性,所以具有可版权性。根据各国立法实践,可以构建“作者-著作权人”的二元主体结构,同时根据人工智能程序编写者、程序测试者、人工智能投资者、人工智能终端所有者及操作者不同的智力贡献,将其纳入动态的权利主体加以保护。

Artificial intelligence can create various literary and artistic works through deep thinking and self-learning at present,but the existing copyright law does not clearly stipulate the ownership of copyright of artificial intelligence products.The existing theory of ownership of artificial intelligence products can be divided into independent personality right theory,neighbor right theory and fruits theory.The products of artificial intelligence are copyrightable because of their originality and external expression.According to the legislative practice of various countries,the dual subject structure of"author-copyright owner"can be constructed.At the same time,according to the different contributions of artificial intelligence programmers,program testers,artificial intelligence investors,artificial intelligence terminal owners and operators to the works,they can be included in the dynamic subject of rights to protect.
