US Copyright Office: AI Generated Works Are Not Eligible for Copyright
SOURCE: ARTnews
Summary
The US Copyright Office has issued a statement clarifying its policy regarding copyright eligibility for works generated by artificial intelligence (AI), particularly particularly in the realm of text and image creation and generation. The Copyright Office has determined that AI-generated works are not eligible for copyright protection, as copyright law only applies to creations made by humans. While elements such as writing or original choices made by humans may be protected, the AI-generated components are not.
Excerpt
“‘These technologies, often described as generative AI, raise questions about whether the material they produce is protected by copyright, whether works consisting of both human-authored and AI-generated material may be registered, and what information should be provided to the Office by applicants seeking to register them,’ the statement of policy read. ‘These are no longer hypothetical questions.'”
