Abstract
With the deep integration of metaverse technology into various industries,the application of virtual anchors has shown a broad development prospect.However,as a complex entity with multiple elements,the copyright confir-mation issues of virtual anchors are quite complicated.This research defines and classifies virtual anchors through interviews with respondents from nine virtual anchor enterprises and media units.It also combines existing legal theories and practices to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the potential issues in the copyright protection scope,copyright ownership,and legal responsibility for AI-generated virtual anchors.The law academia should pay close attention to the progress of the virtual anchor industry,actively engage in the exploration and research of related le-gal theories and systems,and propose feasible institutional suggestions for the healthy development of this emerging industry,thereby pointing out its direction for development.
