| The advancement of artificial intelligence(AI)technology has brought intelligent characteristics to various fields including social economy, science, and arts. AI systems are now capable of creating paintings, writings, and musical compositions. However, the copyright of AI-generated works remains a contentious issue, one that the Copyright Law of the People′s Republic of China has yet to address explicitly. This paper analyzes the concept and categories of AI-generated works, evaluates their copyrightability and related controversies, and proposes solutions including: implementing a priority agreement principle for ownership determination, establishing owner-centered rights allocation, and developing a specialized copyright framework for AI-generated works. These measures aim to foster harmonious development between AI technology and intellectual property protection. |
