智能創作時代AIGC版權保護的國際比較及中國實踐

International Comparison and Chinese Practice of Copyright Protection for AICC in the Intelligent Creative Era

我國“人工智能圖像第一案”引發了人工智能生成內容是否受到版權保護的新一輪爭議，人工智能生成內容能否視為由人類作者創作，其究竟在版權法內處於何種位置等爭議層出不窮。以美國代表的地區已明確拒絕對其提供版權保護，而以英國為代表的地區或能以“計算機生成作品”提供有限版權保護。目前，我國在相關司法裁判中已表現出人工智能自動生成內容可被認定為作品的司法傾向。在智能創作時代下，創作模式轉型已勢不可當，“人工智能圖像第一案”立足我國創新產業的實際，扭轉了當前人工智能生成內容可版權性方面的美國話語主導，在版權立法尚未更新的情況下為人工智能生成內容的版權保護提供了司法的見解。同時，該案的判決也為未來以人工智能為主導的創意產業的發展定下了有益的基調。當然，人工智能生成內容的版權保護尚有更多的爭議亟須回應，此案或可成為引玉之磚，為未來國內人工智能版權保護的研究提供有益啟發。

The ''First Case of AI-Generated Image Creation'' has sparked a new round of debate regarding whether AI-generated content is subject to copyright protection, whether AI-generated content can be considered as created by human authors, and what its exact position within copyright law is, which urgently requires clarification. Regions represented by the United States have unequivocally refused to provide copyright protection for such content, while regions represented by the United Kingdom may offer limited copyright protection under the category of ''computer-generated works''. Currently, China has demonstrated a judicial tendency in relevant judicial rulings to recognize AI-generated content as works. In the era of intelligent creation, the transformation of creative modes is inevitable. The ''First Case of AI-Generated Image Creation'', grounded in the realities of China's innovative industries, has challenged the prevailing discourse in the United States regarding the copyrightability of AI-generated content. In the absence of updates to copyright legislation, this case has provided judicial insights into the copyright protection of AI-generated content. Furthermore, the judgment in this case has set a favorable tone for the future development of creative industries dominated by artificial intelligence. However, there are still numerous controversies surrounding the copyright protection of AI-generated content that require further attention. This case could serve as a starting point, providing valuable insights for future research on domestic AI copyright protection.
