49、 who owns the copyright of AI art.(另一个颇具争议的问题是，AI艺术的版权归属尚无共识)”及划线词后“whether these artworks belong to users, the digital tool developers or even AI(这些艺术作品究竟属于用户、数字工具开发者还是AI)”可知，划线词a gray area指的是关于AI艺术的版权处于一种模糊不清的状态。故选C。 D As kids’ behaviour reaches crisis points after the pandemic, many schools are
