Legal Protection of Artificial Intelligence Generated Works in Intellectual Property Law

Yaojie Li

Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the legal characterization and ownership of the generated content
have become a focus of attention in the legal field. This article is based on the current intellectual property legal system, analyzing the difficulties in determining the originality of works generated by artificial intelligence, and exploring the necessity and feasible path for obtaining legal
protection. By comparing legislative practices at home and abroad, the article proposes the construction of a classification protection model
with substantive human participation as the core, and balancing the relationship between technology developers, users, and social public interests on the basis of clarifying the ownership of rights. This article aims to provide theoretical support for improving China's relevant legal
system, in order to safeguard innovation while maintaining a healthy order in the market for literary and artistic creation.
