Research On Copyright Protection Of Content Generated By Artificial Intelligence

Since the advent of artificial intelligence in 1956,with the rapid development of science and technology such as the Internet and big data,the development of artificial intelligence industry has shown a diversified trend,as has the type of content generated by artificial intelligence,which involves various aspects such as press releases,songs,paintings,poems and pictures.In 2017,the publication of “sunshine loses the window”,a collection of poetry generated by Microsoft“Xiao Bing”,and in2018,the paintings generated by the French Obvious art team were auctioned to more than 400,000 dollars,which once again focused the attention of the public on the content generated by artificial intelligence.The emergence of artificial intelligence-generated content brings certain impact and challenge to the current copyright law.The legislative purpose of the traditional copyright law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the authors of works and to encourage the legitimate dissemination of works.The definition of works is the intellectual achievement of human beings,and the definition of authors is the principle that natural person is the center and copyrights belong to the author,which is generally a natural person,legal person or other organization.Due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology,it has been gradually developed as an auxiliary tool for human creation to be able to generate content independently.The copyright problems caused by the appearance of artificial intelligence generated content mainly include a series of problems such as whether it can be protected by the copyright law,whether it can be identified as a work on copyright,who is its author and to whom the copyright belongs.The main research ideas of this paper are as follows: the first part analyzes and summarizes the legal problems caused by the two cases through the introduction of the cases of Beijing Film law firm v.Baidu Netcom and Tencent company v.Yingxun Technology company.The second part analyzes the relevant legal issues in the case,including whether the content generated by artificial intelligence is a work,whether artificial intelligence can be the author and to whom the copyright of the content generated by artificial intelligence belongs.The third part makes a general analysis of the relevant legislation or policies on copyright protection of artificial intelligence generated content in foreign countries,which lays a foundation for the copyright protection of the next part of artificial intelligence generated content in China.In the fourth part,the author puts forward some Suggestions on copyright protection in order to better protect the content generated by artificial intelligence.
