The China chapter of the International Intellectual Property Lawyers Association (IIPLA) recently grandly opened in Hangzhou. This event attracted intellectual property professionals from dozens of countries and regions including Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, who gathered to jointly discuss cutting-edge topics in the field of intellectual property. Llinks partner Mr. Xun Yang, as a representative of Chinese law firms, was invited to attend the seminar and participated in a professional interview.
In the interview, Mr. Yang, drawing on rich judicial cases, deeply analyzed the current development status of artificial intelligence law in China. The content covered many key topics including the copyright protection mechanism for AI-generated works, the legality assessment of training data, as well as the management of infringement risks and compliance risks. Mr. Yang especially pointed out that the development speed of AI technology and applications far exceeds the legislative process, which inevitably brings legal risks. Therefore, the current urgent task is not simply to decide whether to take action, but how to accurately predict and assess the benefits and risks brought by AI and effectively control these risks.
Mr. Xun Yang's wonderful sharing aroused enthusiastic responses from the participants. With the vigorous development of China's AI industry, proactively balancing the benefits and risks of AI has become a core issue that the industry must highly focus on.
