Abstract

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence technology, various areas of intellectual product using Artificial Intelligence have already reached the level of mass production of creations that are no different from or exceed those of humans. In particular, as generative AI spreads rapidly, many issues are being raised, such as issues of authorship and copyright protection in the case of creations made by Artificial Intelligence. In this regard, it is difficult to protect copyrightability and copyright under the current copyright law system for creative works created by Artificial Intelligence with strong autonomy, so there is a challenge of finding a new protection method. Therefore, in preparation for the emergence of Strong Artificial Intelligence (Strong AI) in the future, in the case of products made by Artificial Intelligence, the creation and recognition of copyright, including legal treatment of creative properties, copyright protection, and ownership of copyright, will become highly controversial issues. In this regard, in-depth research should be conducted from various angles, including countermeasures suited to the rapidly changing reality of Artificial Intelligence. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary to clearly define the creativity requirements for Artificial Intelligence products, clarify the scope of protection, and determine how to assign copyright to Artificial Intelligence products. In addition, it will be necessary to decide how to judge copyright infringement on Artificial Intelligence products, and actively review how to establish a separate, independent system for Artificial Intelligence products and specify it in future laws. In this paper, it has been reviewed major cases of foreign Artificial Intelligence products, discussed the pros and cons of recognizing copyright for Artificial Intelligence products, and studied copyright protection issues and attribution entities.
