When generative artificial intelligence uses a vast amount of copyrighted works without the copyright
holders’ permission during the training process, it is liable for infringement under China's existing legal framework.
Copyright compliance has thus emerged as a crucial challenge that industry players cannot afford to ignore. However,
the conventional compliance model of “authorization before utilization” encounters significant obstacles in the
artificial intelligence domain. Moreover, the fair use doctrine fails to exempt profit - making model training, rendering
the exploration of novel compliance approaches both urgent and indispensable. By delving into conclusive judicial
decisions, we can discern the current judicial stance on copyright issues in artificial intelligence training in China.
From this, we can reverse-engineer practical and actionable compliance strategies, thereby offering valuable guidance
for the development of the artificial intelligence industry.
