生成式人工智能作品版权归属问题研究

A Study on Copyright Ownership ofGenerative Artificial Intelligence Works

生成式人工智能作品与人类作品在创造主体上存在着不同,但究其本质,它们都是融合了智力和创造的结果,都蕴含着物质与经济的价值。生成式人工智能本质上是一种类人类的智能,它由人类创造出来,但是它拥有与人类主体截然相反的工具属性,它不具有主动性,不可能主动要求自己的权利,并且对于相关责任也是被动地承担。因此,人类创作物的版权归属模式无法直接适用于生成式人工智能作品,但是可以通过对生成式人工智能作品版权归属设置一般规则和特殊规则,界定生成式人工智能作品的权利归属,使其能够获得切实有利的版权保护,以期解决现存的生成式人工智能作品的权利归属问题。

Generative artificial intelligence works are different from other human works in terms of their subjects of creation,but in essence,they are all the results of integrating intelligence and creation,containing material and economic value.Generative AI is a sort of human-like intelligence.It is created by human beings and has the tool attribute that is diametrically opposite to the human subject.It does not have initiative and cannot claim for rights on its own,and it can merely assume relevant responsibilities passively.Therefore,the copyright ownership model for human creations cannot be directly applied to generative artificial intelligence works.However,the ownership of generative artificial intelligence works can be defined through general and special rules,enabling them to obtain practical and favorable copyright protection so as to solve the existing problems.
