Discussion on the subject status of artificial intelligence under the Copyright Law
According to Article 11 of Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China, the natural person who creates the work is the author. Even the works of “legal person or unincorporated organization” stipulated in this article are only based on the leadership status of the legal person or unincorporated organization, from the perspective of reflecting the will of a legal person or an unincorporated organization, or being responsible by a legal person or an unincorporated organization, it is considered that a legal person or an unincorporated organization has the identity of the author. But in essence, the work should still be regarded as being created by a natural person.
Therefore, “artificial intelligence” cannot serve as the subject of the Copyright Law from the legal provisions. At present, Chinese judicial practice holds the same attitude on this matter.
In the case of infringement of the information network dissemination rights between Filin Law Firm and Beijing Baidu Network Technology Co., Ltd., the court believes that although the content of the analysis report automatically generated by China Law Reference involves the judicial analysis of the film and entertainment industry, meets the form requirements of the written works, and reflects certain originality in terms of the selection, judgment, and analysis of relevant data, according to the level of technology and industrial development, if the intelligence and economic investment of such software can be fully protected in the current legal protection system, it is not appropriate to expand the basic definition of the subject of civil law. Therefore, the court determined that the works under the copyright law should still be created and completed by a natural person.
