패션 디자인과 생성형 AI: 창작물의 범주와 윤리적 과제

초록

This study investigates the intersection of generative AI and fashion design, with emphasis on the recognition of artificial-intelligence (AI)-generated works as creative outputs and the associated ethical and legal challenges. Gen erative AI technologies, such as GANs and diffusion models, have revolutionized the fashion industry by enabling the rapid creation of innovative designs. Despite these advancements, significant issues persist regarding the attribution of authorship and copyright protection. Current intellectual property frameworks in the U.S., the EU, and South Korea pre dominantly recognize human creators, which implies that AI-generated works are not copyright protected unless sig nificant human creative input is demonstrated. This study reviews the relevant policies and guidelines from major organizations such as WIPO and the U.S. Copyright Office and examines various case studies to illustrate these points. Additionally, the ethical implications of AI in fashion design, particularly concerning data bias and transparency, are crit ically analyzed. The findings underscore the necessity for transparent and fair data usage, clear documentation of the cre ative process, and human–AI collaboration. This collaboration should enhance creativity without overshadowing the unique artistic contributions of human designers. The study concludes by recommending the development of robust legal and ethical guidelines to ensure responsible and innovative use of AI in fashion design. These guidelines aim to protect the rights of human designers while fostering a collaborative environment in which AI serves as an enabler of creativity and innovation.
