Abstract:As revolutionary technology and a new, high-quality productive force, generative AI profoundly reshapes the production of expressive content, including text, pictures, music, and video. The copyright exception system provides generative AI with beneficial value on technology enhancement and industry development, including the interest-balancing between participants on generative AI and the copyright holders, the social benefits through generative AI based on full access to information, and the prevention of market failure by incentivizing the licensing of copyrighted works. The institutional foundation of the copyright exception system for generative AI lies in the potential for copyright infringement during data input and content generation, which substantially impacts the development of AI technology as well as its industry. Currently the text-data-mining as the statutory exemption is one institutional trial on the establishment of a copyright exception system of generative AI. Despite such institutional trials operating with the statutory certainty, it still fails to regulate generative AI in the field of commercial practice, as well as the diversity of AI technology. To improve the establishment of copyright exception system on generative AI, one should polish the component of copyright statutory exemption through customized model, establish the rules of behaviors on generative AI based on the characteristics out of copyright exception, and coordinate the copyright licensing with the situation of copyright exception, which ultimately promote the rational and orderly development of generative AI.
