Abstract
In recent years, artificial intelligence has not only “been involved in the field of writing and writing”, but also began to “get involved” in music creation and art creation, but the question of whether the artifact generated by artificial intelligence is a work in the sense of copyright law needs to be answered. There exists an essential difference between artificial intelligence and natural human beings. Artificial intelligence is not a “person”. It is clear that artificial intelligence does not have the property or source of funding needed to take responsibility. Therefore, artificial intelligence is far from being an “artificial person”. Artificial intelligence is essentially a scientific and technological achievement of human beings and cannot be the subject of copyright law. The artifacts generated by artificial intelligence, such as words, music, paintings, graphics, etc., have the appearance of the works, yet are ultimately the result of human intellectual labor, and their copyrights are ultimately human subjects. However, in different situations, different attributions of artificial intelligence product copyrights should be distinguished according to creativeism or contractualism.
