The specific expressive details of AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) can be regarded as the user's contribution, as they represent the personalized and fixed outcome of the user's engagement with the AI's content-generation potential. AI is not merely a passive tool. Its content-generation potential is directed by the user's will and serves the user's purposes. It should be seen as an advantage of AI as a tool, rather than a reason to discount human contribution in AIGC. An AI user's content-generating activity is not comparable to commissioning a work or providing raw material for derivative works, and therefore the default norms applied to commissioned works or derivative works should not be extended to AIGC. Interpretations regarding works and authors should strive to achieve the best possible policy outcomes, as long as such interpretations can be read out of the legal text. The principle that“lower contributions merit thinner copyright protection, higher contributions merit thicker copyright protection”embodies the cost-benefit analysis for delineating rights. There is no need—nor justification—to abandon it in the AI era. In balancing creative incentives with public freedom, the core objective remains to ensure that the scope and strength of intellectual property rights align with the rights holder's actual contribution, thereby preventing excessive expansion of exclusivity and overly strong protection. |
