This presentation will examine China’s evolving legal landscape surrounding generative AI, particularly focusing on the extensive case law that has emerged as the country seeks to establish clear guidelines for AI governance. Recent court rulings in China have addressed key issues, including the copyrightability of AI-generated content (AIGC), the legal responsibilities of AI platforms, and the infringement liabilities related to the use of copyrighted material in AI training datasets. These cases are setting important precedents, offering clarity on the intellectual property rights of AI users and establishing compliance expectations for service providers. In addition, a substantial number of lawsuits involving generative AI are still under review, signaling a continuing expansion of this legal framework. By analyzing these judicial decisions and ongoing cases, this presentation will provide insights into the complex interplay between innovation, regulation, and intellectual property protection in China, equipping businesses and stakeholders with practical strategies for navigating these developments effectively.
