GenAI生成内容不应受版权保护，因其切断了人类创作的直接联系。
The algorithmic muse and the public domain: Why copyrights legal philosophy precludes protection for generative AI outputs
- 从版权哲学出发，否定GenAI输出的原创性基础
- 主张人类对AI作品的创造性贡献可受保护，算法输出应归入公共领域
- 警示版权扩张将侵蚀数字公共空间，阻碍未来创新
生成式人工智能（GenAI）输出不应获得版权保护。本文摒弃传统法律条文对原创性和作者身份的分析，转而重新审视版权制度的根本哲学。GenAI从根本上切断了表达形式与人类创作之间的直接联系。传统的功利激励、劳动报酬和人格理论均无法为保护GenAI输出提供连贯正当性。公共领域构成智力成果的默认基准。寻求为GenAI输出赋予版权者须承担举证责任。授予原始GenAI输出版权不仅哲学上站不住脚，还将引发对数字公地前所未有的私有化，导致法律困境并抑制未来创新。论文主张明确区分：人类对AI生成作品的创造性贡献可获保护，但原始算法输出应留在公共领域。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative AI (GenAI) outputs are not copyrightable. This article argues why. We bypass conventional doctrinal analysis that focuses on black letter law notions of originality and authorship to re-evaluate copyright's foundational philosophy. GenAI fundamentally severs the direct human creative link to expressive form. Traditional theories utilitarian incentive, labor desert and personality fail to provide coherent justification for protection. The public domain constitutes the default baseline for intellectual creations. Those seeking copyright coverage for GenAI outputs bear the burden of proof. Granting copyright to raw GenAI outputs would not only be philosophically unsound but would also trigger an unprecedented enclosure of the digital commons, creating a legal quagmire and stifling future innovation. The paper advocates for a clear distinction: human creative contributions to AI-generated works may warrant protection, but the raw algorithmic output should remain in the public domain.
