AI版权第一案:AI生成图片的著作权归属问题解析
2023年中国AI版权第一案引发行业震动。一位百家号作者因使用AI生成的图片作为文章配图,被图片创作者起诉侵权。北京互联网法院最终判决原告胜诉,认定AI生成图片具有独创性,属于受著作权法保护的美术作品。
The first AI copyright case in China in 2023 caused a stir in the industry. A Baijiahao author was sued for copyright infringement for using an AI-generated image as an article illustration. The Beijing Internet Court ultimately ruled in favor of the plaintiff, determining that the AI-generated image possessed originality and qualified as an artwork protected by copyright law.
案件核心争议点在于:通过输入提示词和参数调整生成的AI图片,是否构成著作权法意义上的"作品"?法院认为,原告使用Stable Diffusion模型时输入了上百个提示词并调整参数,体现了独创性表达,因此构成美术作品。
The core dispute of the case was: Do AI images generated through input prompts and parameter adjustments constitute "works" under copyright law? The court held that the plaintiff's input of hundreds of prompts and parameter adjustments into Stable Diffusion demonstrated original expression, thus qualifying as artwork.
AI作品版权现状
Current Status of AI Copyright
目前中国法律对AI生成内容的版权归属尚无明确规定。此前不同法院判决存在分歧:
- 北京"菲林诉百度案":否认AI内容版权
- 深圳"腾讯新闻案":承认AI内容版权
Current Chinese law has no clear provisions regarding copyright ownership of AI-generated content. Previous court rulings have been inconsistent:
- Beijing "Feilin v. Baidu" case: Denied copyright for AI content
- Shenzhen "Tencent News" case: Recognized copyright for AI content
独创性判断标准模糊:法院强调需要个案分析。提示词和参数调整的"创造性劳动"程度是关键,但具体标准尚不明确。
Ambiguity in originality standards: Courts emphasize case-by-case analysis. The extent of "creative labor" in prompt engineering and parameter adjustment is crucial, but specific standards remain unclear.
