    Copyright and Artificial Intelligence (Part 2: Copyrightability)
    A Report of the Register of Copyrights
    January 2025

    Here are the main takeaways:

    - Al-generated content alone cannot be copyrighted - there must be meaningful human creative input

    - Simply writing prompts is usually not enough to claim copyright

    - Using Al as a tool as part of a larger process does not prevent copyright protection

    - You can copyright the human-created parts of a work that uses some Al elements

    - No new laws are needed right now to handle Al copyright issues

    • So if you use Photoshops generative fill you're fuckedYakuZoku
    • ^ its actually the opposite. The report says the human-created portions are still copyrightable, just not the bit you genfilled. Essentially, it's a derivative.monNom
    • They talked about an AI comic where it was copyrightable because the author wrote the script, then used AI imagery, but controlled the placement and captioning.monNom
    • So prompted image: no copyright.
      Prompted image in a composition or ensemble: the composition or ensemble is copyrightable

    • Not a lawyer, do your own research. No warranties express of implied. Not valid in the province of Quebec.monNom
    • that's writing.
      ********
    • It’s a worthwhile read. The gist is that copyright exists to protect human output. Copyright still applies to the portion of the work a human creates.monNom
