Abstract

With the emergence of a new round of scientific and technological revolution characterized by intelligence, China has made rapid progress in the field of artificial intelligence. However, this new concept of artificial intelligence has not yet been fully integrated into the existing legal system, leading to legal dilemmas and systemic obstacles such as unclear attribution of the work, uncertain subject of the right, and unclear path of protection for the content generated by it. The traditional copyright protection model, concerning the generation of artificial intelligence, shows obvious maladaptation in terms of copyright generation, protection period, and content. Hence, there is a need to explore a copyright protection model suitable for artificial intelligence, namely the neighboring rights protection model, while considering relevant legislative practices from other countries dealing with AI-generated content. This paper aims to investigate the neighboring right protection model, which is an adaptable copyright protection model for AI-generated objects, and to draw insights from overseas legislative practices on AI-generated objects.
