Copyright Disputes over AI - Generated Content in Model - Generated Works——Starting from the Infringement Case of Ultraman Model - Generated Content

Abstract

The rise of the Internet has had a significant impact on our lives, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Recently, the copyright infringement case of Shanghai New Creation Culture Development Co., Ltd. suing Shuimu Intelligence Co., Ltd. over AI - generated content has attracted widespread social attention. Whether AI - generated works in model applications are works protected by copyright law, how to allocate copyright ownership if they are works, and how to divide the burden of proof in subsequent rights and obligations disputes. These issues are not only the core of individual case disputes, but also reflect the impact and challenges of AI technology on the existing legal system, which urgently needs to be addressed from the perspectives of legal interpretation and practical application.
