For a long time, in China, the United States, Korea, and Japan, only human creations that express human thoughts and emotions are called works. In addition, only humans or, in exceptional cases, corporations were recognized as authors. However, with the sudden emergence of generative artificial intelligence at the end of 2022, the human-only creative area that we have been protecting is rapidly being replaced by generative artificial intelligence. Concerns about copyright law are increasing as to how to interpret creations made by generative artificial intelligence. China's Beijing Internet Court has received worldwide attention for rulings to protect creations made by generative artificial intelligence. In the main text, the relevant rulings were introduced in detail, and issues on copyright law were also examined. In its ruling on artificial intelligence, the Chinese court, like the United States and most countries, made it clear that only humans can have the status of authors under copyright law, and that works are creations that express human thoughts or emotions. The Chinese court does not mean that it will recognize generative artificial intelligence as the author or that it will recognize all creations made by generative artificial intelligence as creative works. It is necessary to distinguish between generative artificial intelligence creations and creations using generative artificial intelligence and protect them. As technology advances and society changes, the Chinese court ruling made it clear that humans should be the subject of creation. And artificial intelligence is actively recognized as a tool to solve copyright-related problems. Generative artificial intelligence technology is currently developing rapidly, and its ecosystem is being established. Now, no one can predict how much technology will advance in the future. It is necessary to discuss ways to minimize the gap with copyright law so that the content business using generative artificial intelligence can develop.
