Professor Xue Hong of Internet Policy and Law Research Center presided over the lecture. The two keynote speakers are Professor Xue and Professor Gustav Ghedini, a tenured professor at Milan University and a senior professor of industrial property law at the University of Luiss in Rome. Professor Xue gave a speech entitled "Analysis of copyright infringement cases in Google v. Oracle Bone Inscriptions", and Professor Gustav Ghedini gave a speech of "Intellectual Property and Artificial Intelligence".
Professor Xue Hong deeply analyzed the court judgment of Google v. Oracle Bone Inscriptions copyright infringement case from the perspective of Chinese copyright law and American law. The focus of the case is whether the application user interface is copyrightable and whether Google's behavior constitutes a reasonable use. The Supreme Court of the United States decided that Google's copying of Oracle Bone Inscriptions code was a reasonable use according to the four-factor judgment standard of the country's law. As a civil law system, China's laws have different provisions. Professor Xue discussed the influence of technological progress on the copyright legal system from the perspective of comparative law.
Professor Gustav Ghedini first affirmed the great strength of China's economic and technological development, and said that the economic take-off was accompanied by the development of science and technology. Artificial intelligence is ubiquitous and has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. Professor Gustav Ghedini introduced the application of artificial intelligence technology in detail from many aspects such as social life and practical examples. China, the United States, the European Union and other countries attach great importance to the development of artificial intelligence technology, and successively put forward relevant orders and strategic policies to develop artificial intelligence. Professor Gustav Ghedini analyzed the European Union's documents on the risks and countermeasures of artificial intelligence at three levels, and the profound challenge of artificial intelligence to the concept of copyright subject and object, and held that the legislation and enforcement of copyright law in China set a model for the development of global law. Professor Xue and Professor Ghedini had an in-depth dialogue and debate on relevant legal issues. Professor Ghedini also enthusiastically left his contact information to facilitate exchanges between Chinese and foreign students attending the meeting.
The academic seminar of Professor Xue Hong and Professor Gustav Ghedini was highly praised and praised by Chinese and foreign participants, which stimulated students' learning enthusiasm and confidence, and hoped that the series of academic lectures would be better and better.
