Statutory Copyright Status of AI-GeneratedContent

Generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) can now generate text as well as make pictures, music, and all kinds of expressions by itself. So, the problem about how to set up copyright for AIGC produced work becomes an important issue in legal field and actual work field. The traditional copyright law is based on the idea of human creation. But, in fact, it's not created directly by man. It poses major issues on copyright law as to whether these can be considered works of copyright law, who the author is, who has ownership over it, and how one would determine infringement liability. The copyright legal situation of AIGC is studied from the angle of work identity, authorship and owner identification as well as violation liability determination. Based on related parts of China's Copyright Law, it takes reference from the domestic and overseas studies as well as judgments to look for solutions under current laws and gives practical advice with Chinese characteristics. It can provide a theoretical basis to improve the copyright protection methods and promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence industry.
