A report from the U.S. Copyright Office clarifies that AI-generated content can be copyrighted if it has undergone human modifications. Works created solely by AI without any human edits, such as basic prompts, are not copyrightable. The report emphasizes that eligibility for copyright protections will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the agency has yet to decide on the copyright status of AI systems making independent artistic choices and plans to issue guidance on this in a forthcoming report.
In the U.S., AI-generated creations that have been edited by a human can likely be copyrighted, but those without human modifications cannot.
The U.S. Copyright Office stated that a case-by-case basis is needed to determine copyright eligibility for AI-generated content.
Prompts alone do not typically lead to copyrightable works, emphasizing the necessity for human creative intervention.
The agency will address whether AI systems making expressive, independent choices can produce copyrightable works in a future report.
