The U.S. Copyright Office has declared that artists can obtain copyrights for works created using AI if substantial human creativity is demonstrated. This landmark decision, addressed in a recent report, could expand the use of AI in sectors like film, music, and publishing. While fully machine-generated works won't receive copyright protection, those that reflect meaningful human input will. The office emphasizes the importance of human creativity—a key factor in determining eligibility for copyright, distinguishing it from purely machine-generated content. Additionally, the report does not tackle ongoing legal disputes over AI training practices on copyrighted materials.
The U.S. Copyright Office has ruled that artists can secure copyrights for works created with AI, provided they demonstrate significant human creativity.
Artists who modify or creatively arrange AI-generated content in perceptible ways can claim copyright. However, simply prompting an AI... does not meet the threshold for protection.
Extending protection to material whose expressive elements are determined by a machine... would undermine rather than further the constitutional goals of copyright.
The copyright office has refrained from taking a position on these legal disputes, but it announced plans to release another report examining AI model training, licensing implications, and potential future policy.
