Here’s what you need to know:
• AI-assisted work is still copyrightable: If a human is the primary creator, AI tools don’t compromise copyright protection.
• AI cannot replace human authorship: Simply inputting prompts into an AI doesn’t make you the author of the output.
• AI can be used in post-production: Studios using AI for things like de-aging or object removal are in the clear.
• AI-generated elements must be “selected and arranged”: If you creatively shape AI-generated content, you can still claim copyright over your work.
• No special copyright for AI-generated works: The Copyright Office rejected calls for new protections for purely AI-made content
The debate isn’t over. A third report will tackle whether AI models can train on copyrighted work without permission.
Where do you stand? Should AI-generated content be copyrightable?
