未完成的知识生产革命,以及法律可以做什么?

The Unfinished Knowledge Production Revolution and What the Law Can Do

近来有关人工智能法律需求的讨论不断增多,^([1])一方面因为大语言模型能力突破,内容生产(文生图文、音视频)的成本降低,生成式AI成为知识经济的重要引擎;另一方面也因为相关利益群体(如软件用户、用于大模型预训练的作品著作权人)开始提出不同的诉求。目前人们还都是在技术和工具意义上讨论AI,即关注在特定AI技术使用过程中出现的利益冲突和问题。

This paper provides a framework for understanding AI's economic and social functions and its demands on the legal system from an organizational and knowledge production perspective.Historically,the legal system as a superstructure has always served the claims of the economic base by legitimizing various potentially valuable resources and transforming them into factors of production that can be widely used by the capitalist mode of production.This process is continuing to happen in the age of AI,and new rules of various kinds are needed to adapt to changes in specific modes of production and to promote productivity progress.
