The US Copyright Office issued a report clarifying that generative AI outputs, based solely on text prompts, do not qualify for copyright protection. The guidance concludes that existing copyright principles are sufficient, indicating that prompts do not provide users authorship over AI-generated works. This limitation is exemplified by an award-winning image, "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial", which struggled for copyright registration. The unpredictability of AI's output further supports this stance, indicating that while creators may guide AI, they do not fully control the artistic expression produced by these systems.
The new guidelines state that AI prompts currently lack the control necessary for users to claim authorship of the output, affecting potential copyright protection.
Generative AI outputs aren’t protected under existing copyright laws, highlighting the limitations in considering the contributions of AI in the creation process.
