Abstract

This paper aims to understand social conflicts algorithm-generated arts give rise to. It examines whether current legislations and proposed solutions are adequate to alleviate them. Particular attention is paid to the following issues: how AI generated arts infringe copyright, what are required to be copyrighted works, and who are entitled to hold authorship of AI generated arts. First, AI industry has expanded to demand copyright law to allow free uses of copyrighted works. As copyright violation lawsuits and related social cost increase, many countries begin to regulate AI. Second, current legislations grant copyright only to human created works, while criticised as hindrance to the advances of AI technology. Third, there is extensive agreement that it is human individuals who claim a right for AI generated arts. There also exist concerns that a few AI corporations or programmers monopolize profits of copyrighted AI products. Copyright should not be monopolized, considering that the law of copyright aim to promote human culture and arts not to help AI make profits. It is still needed for consistent legal awareness that no citizens should not be excluded from society AI will share with us.
