Episode notes
AI-Created Content Lacks Copyright
- U.S. copyright law requires human authorship, so purely AI-generated content isn't protected.
- That means copying AI output verbatim leaves you with no legal remedy if others reuse it.
Contract Promise vs. AI Fine Print
- Erin gives an example where a consultant promises client ownership but uses an AI with terms that let the company reuse outputs.
- That mismatch can put the consultant in breach of contract without realizing it.
Make AI Work Copyrightable
- Use AI for brainstorming and drafts, then add your original analysis and stories to claim authorship.
- Rewrite outputs in your voice and include your frameworks to make the work copyright-eligible.
