Elisa Shoop's Copyright Battle with AI

Elisa Shoop, a retired US Army veteran, challenged the US Copyright Office's policy on work made with AI by filing a copyright registration for a novel she self-published after using OpenAI's Chat GPT extensively. Despite initial rejection, Shoop won the battle, securing copyright registration for the AI-generated text. The USCO granted her copyright for the selection, coordination, and arrangement of text but not for the actual sentences and paragraphs of the novel, marking a significant development in copyrighting AI-generated works.
