Copyright protection for AI-generated art is a contentious issue with debates on whether it should be assigned to the person who used the AI tool to create the image or the AI creator.
Copyright protection applies to the resulting image of an AI-generated art piece, and it can still be considered a violation even if it resembles an existing copyrighted work.
Deep dives
US Copyright Office refuses to register AI-generated image
The US Copyright Office recently refused to register a copyright for an AI-generated image, even though it won an art competition. The Copyright Office's stance is that copyright cannot be granted to AI-generated art since AI is not a person. Instead, the copyright should go to the person who used the AI tool to create the image.
Copyright protection for AI-generated art
The discussion revolves around whether copyright protection should be granted to AI-generated art. Critics argue that copyright should be assigned to the person who provided the prompts to the AI, rather than the AI creator or the person who operated the AI. They highlight the effort that goes into generating prompts and setting up the AI as a creative endeavor similar to photography.
Copyright and the uniqueness of artistic creations
Copyright protection is based on the distinctiveness of a creative work and is not limited to good art. Even if an AI-generated art piece is similar to an existing copyrighted work, it can still be a copyright violation. The focus is on the resulting image, not the process by which it was created.
Potential issues and concerns
There are concerns about potential abuse if big companies were to exploit the system and copyright everything indiscriminately. However, this issue can be mitigated by implementing regulations such as limiting the number of copyright applications per legal entity to prevent brute-forcing the space.
