AI-generated content not protected by copyright in South Korea confirmed

According to South Korea’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Minister Yoo In-cheon’s speech at the Moda Art Theater in Seodaemun District, Seoul, the “Four Strategies to Realize a Copyright Power” has been introduced. Among them, an important decision is to prohibit copyright registration for content generated by artificial intelligence and not created by humans. This decision aims to protect the rights and copyrights of human creations. The importance of maintaining copyrights in the digital age cannot be ignored.

The department further stated that only those ideas that can clearly convey human thoughts and emotions can be registered. This decision will be announced soon in the "AI Copyright Guidelines" for AI companies, copyright owners and users.

In addition, the Korean government also plans to disclose choreographers, composers and lyricists in music broadcasts names to provide legal protection to choreographers who have been relatively neglected in terms of copyright protection.

South Korea plans to increase the scale of its copyright industry from 24.4 trillion won to 430 trillion won between 2022 and 2027, and increase the scale of its copyright export industry from US$15.5 billion to US$25 billion. Based on the current exchange rate, this is equivalent to increasing the scale of the copyright industry from 134.2 billion yuan to 2.37 trillion yuan and increasing the scale of the copyright export industry from 110.67 billion yuan to 178.5 billion yuan.

The South Korean government hopes to take measures to reduce the illegal piracy rate from 19.5% to 17.0% and increase the amount of copyright fees from 541.2 billion won to 953.8 billion won between 2022 and 2027.

The department also announced plans to improve the ranking of the copyright sector from seventh place last year to fifth place in 2027 in the International Intellectual Property Index published by the U.S. Global Innovation Policy Center (GIPC).

The department has also developed four strategies to address current challenges. First, they decided to adopt a preemptive strategy to deal with the development of artificial intelligence. Second, they recognize that copyright blind spots exist, so they plan to eliminate them to ensure copyright is fully protected. Third, they hope to increase the transparency of the copyright industry to promote the healthy development of the industry. Finally, they actively respond to the problem of overseas illegal content dissemination to protect their country’s copyright interests. The formulation of these strategies will help protect the rights and interests of the copyright industry and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
