Deep dives

Copyright and AI Creation

The U.S. Trademark Office has updated copyright guidelines relating to AI-generated content, clarifying the status of creations that incorporate AI assistance in their development. Works produced with significant human input, reflecting human creativity and expression, are now eligible for copyright protection. However, purely AI-generated content that lacks human modification is not copyrightable. This distinction is crucial for creators who utilize AI tools in their artistic processes, as it ensures that those who actively engage in the creative process can claim ownership over their outputs.
