人工智能生成物著作权的归属模式建构

Construction of the Attribution Mode of Copyright in AI-Generated Works

关于人工智能,学界对其主体资格的认定存在分歧。从著作权法的一般原理来看,人工智能无法像自然人一样享有权利和履行义务,其处于附属地位并辅助人类创作。随着人工智能技术的加强,人工智能具备自主性特征,能独立思考并作出相应决策。基于此,结合人工智能生成作品著作权归属存在的四种模式,用我国著作权法律制度为人工智能生成物提供有效的排他性保护,需要厘清人工智能的作者身份并从人工智能及其使用者和利益平衡的角度出发,为人工智能著作权归属提供一个完整的合理制度支持。

There is ongoing debate within academia regarding the legal subject status of artificial intelligence(AI).From the perspective of general principles of copyright law,AI cannot enjoy rights and fulfill obligations like natural persons;it remains in a subordinate position,assisting human creation.However,as AI technology advances,AI systems have gained autonomy,capable of independent thought and decision-making.In light of this,and considering the four existing models of copyright ownership for AI-generated works,there is a need to clarify the authorship of AI and provide effective exclusive protection under China's copyright legal framework.This would involve creating a complete and rational system that balances the interests of AI,its users,and stakeholders to address the issue of copyright ownership for AI-generated content.
