A Chinese perspective on artificial intelligence generated content and copyright

In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of content generation has become more and more widespread, and the concept of artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) has gradually entered the public consciousness. Can pieces of AIGC be considered works? Can AI be the author of AIGC? This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the literature of Chinese scholars so as to sort out the different perspectives of Chinese scholars on the relevant issues. This paper uses the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) as the data source database and uses Citespace to carry out text-mining work in the retrieved literature. This literature presents twelve main doctrines on the copyrightability of AIGC and three doctrines on its attribution.
