U.S. Copyright Office tells Judge that AI Artwork isn’t Protectable

PetaPixel, 02/09/23. The U.S. Copyright Office has informed a judge that AI-generated artwork is not protectable under current copyright law.

The office stated that works produced by AI lack the originality required for copyright protection, as they are generated using algorithms and do not involve human authorship. The ruling comes as a result of a dispute between artists who use AI to create works and those who believe that AI-generated artwork should be considered protectable.

However, the use of AI in the creation of art is a rapidly evolving field, and it remains to be seen whether future developments will change this stance. READ MORE
