TRIPS协定下人工智能生成内容可版权性研究
Research on the Copyrightability of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content under the TRIPS Agreement

ChatGPT、DeepArt.io等人工智能软件的广泛使用使得人们的工作生活更加便利，但与此同时，人工智能生成内容与人类创作的作品越来越难以区分，也引发了由人工智能产生的版权纠纷不断增加的问题。在此情形下，现有的国际知识产权协议有必要对人工智能生成物的可版权性做出回应，以解决国际贸易中人工智能知识产权的纠纷，促进知识产权贸易。本文通过对TRIPS协议进行分析，总结不同缔约国的相关法律法规，进而主张并论证人工智能生成物可以纳入版权保护，但TRIPS协议排除了人工智能作为权利主体，其生成物版权的权利主体应为运行该人工智能进行必要安排和创作的自然人和法人。
The widespread use of artificial intelligence software such as ChatGPT, DeepArt.io, and others has made people’s work and life more convenient. However, at the same time, it has become increas-ingly difficult to distinguish between content generated by artificial intelligence and works created by humans, which has led to a growing number of copyright disputes arising from artificial intelli-gence-generated content. In this context, it is necessary for existing international intellectual prop-erty agreements to respond to the copyrightability of AI-generated materials in order to resolve disputes over intellectual property rights of artificial intelligence in international trade and pro-mote intellectual property trade. This article analyzes the TRIPS Agreement, summarizes the rele-vant laws and regulations of different contracting parties, and then advocates and demonstrates that AI-generated materials can be included under copyright protection. However, the TRIPS Agreement excludes artificial intelligence as a rights holder, and the rights holder of the copyright of its generated materials should be the natural persons and legal entities that operate the artificial intelligence to make necessary arrangements and creations.
