2025年，《原神》运营主体上海某科技有限公司发现，上海某信息技术公司未经授权使用AI技术复刻了《原神》中63款角色的声音，并供用户付费使用 1。经司法鉴定，涉案AI变声软件中的试听语音与《原神》角色原声偏差值较小，法院倾向认定二者为同一声音 1。上海市浦东新区人民法院最终认定该行为构成著作权侵权及不正当竞争，判令被告立即停止侵权行为，并赔偿原告经济损失及维权合理开支共计75万元 1。
此案裁判明确了知名IP角色声音作为商业标识受法律保护，且技术本身不能成为侵权的免责理由 1。承办法官徐弘韬指出，本案裁判既明确技术不是侵权免责理由，也允许经营者通过借鉴通用发声方式、基础声线特征进行合理的声音模仿，为AI创新保留空间 1。此前，最高人民法院发布《关于依法审理涉人工智能纠纷案件的意见》，已对包括“AI换脸拟声”在内的侵害人格权益行为及利用AI实施的不正当竞争作出明确规制 1。
A Shanghai information technology company has been ordered to pay 750,000 yuan in compensation after being found guilty of copyright infringement and unfair competition for using artificial intelligence to clone the voices of characters from the popular game "Genshin Impact." 1 The Shanghai Pudong New Area People's Court ruled that the defendant must immediately cease its infringing activities, which involved selling an AI voice-changing software that replicated the audio characteristics of 63 distinct game characters for user fees. 1
The case originated when the operator of "Genshin Impact," a Shanghai-based technology company, discovered in 2025 that the unauthorized software was profiting from the cloned character voices. 1 Judicial appraisal confirmed that the trial audio within the AI service showed minimal deviation from the original character voices, leading the court to determine they were substantially identical. 1 This ruling establishes that the voices of well-known intellectual property characters are protected as commercial identifiers and emphasizes that the use of advanced technology does not provide immunity from legal liability for infringement. 1
In addition to resolving the specific dispute, the judgment highlights broader regulatory efforts regarding AI ethics. 1 The Supreme People's Court has issued guidelines aimed at curbing behaviors such as "AI face-swapping and voice-mimicking" that violate personal rights and constitute unfair competition. 1 Presiding judge Xu Hongtao noted that while the court firmly rejected the argument that technology itself excuses infringement, it also preserved reasonable space for innovation by allowing businesses to mimic general vocal styles or basic timbre features without copying specific protected identities. 1
