PANews reported on November 7th that the Huangpu District People's Court of Shanghai recently issued a first-instance judgment in a "copyright infringement case involving AI prompts." The court ruled that the six sets of prompts in question were merely a list of instructions regarding artistic style, main elements, and material details, lacking originality in expression, and therefore did not constitute "works" under copyright law. The plaintiff's claims for reproduction, distribution, online dissemination, and attribution were thus dismissed. The court pointed out that the prompts were closer to ideas and creative concepts, and did not reflect personalized intellectual input.
