When AI is utilized by popular science creators，it gives rise to issues such as copyright ownership and legal risk management. This paper presents typical cases of copyright disputes involving AI-generated works and analyzes the challenges in copyright determination，including whether AI-generated content satisfies the legal criteria for “works” and whether AI can be considered an independent creative entity. From the perspectives of various stakeholders-legislators，popular science creators，and other related creative parties-the paper proposes strategies such as improving legal regulations，becoming well-versed in copyright law，and preserving evidence to safeguard one’s rights. These recommendations aim to provide guidance on copyright protection for all parties involved in popular science creation in the AI era.
