Research on the Subject of Copyright Infringement Liability for Generative Artificial Intelligence

The explosive development of generative artificial intelligence technology, while bringing about a revolution in content creation, is also profoundly challenging the boundaries and balance of the current copyright legal system. In the algorithmic black box environment, the diverse participation of generative artificial intelligence developers, service providers and users forms a responsibility gap, leading to the risk of diversified responsibility subjects and blurred responsibility boundaries. This study focuses on the latent copyright infringement risks throughout the entire chain of generative artificial intelligence applications. Based on risk identification and cause analysis, by deconstructing infringement disputes, institutional dilemmas, and judicial practices, it reveals the structural failures of current rules in application and proposes a hierarchical governance path, with the aim of achieving a dynamic balance between promoting creators' rights and interests and promoting artificial intelligence innovation.
