Protection of Copyrights in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence
摘要
The historical evolution of terms such as artificial intelligence and related concepts has perpetuated a misconception conflating machine intelligence with human cognition. Recent strides in generative AI technology have exacerbated this phenomenon by enabling AI systems to simulate human behaviors. The progress in generative AI has facilitated the production of convincingly human-like texts, images, music, videos, and other forms of media, thereby intensifying significant legal concerns regarding the safeguarding of intellectual property. Judicial precedents and legislative measures have begun grappling with issues surrounding AI-generated content, sparking debates on matters concerning copyright protections and liabilities for potential infringements. Key focal points of analysis include the copyright status of works generated by AI tools and the implications of their potential infringement on existing copyrights. Furthermore, these discussions underscore the need for further research to address emerging questions in this evolving field.
