from Part III - Generative AI
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 August 2025
This chapter will focus on how Chinese and Japanese copyright law balance content owner’s desire for copyright protection with the national policy goal of enabling and promoting technological advancement, in particular in the area of AI-related progress. In discussing this emerging area of law, we will focus mainly on the two most fundamental questions that the widespread adoption of generative AI pose to copyright regulators: (1) does the use and refinement of training data violate copyright law, and (2) who owns a copyright in content produced by or with the help of AI?
