Generative AI: Art & Images

Generative art AI is blurring the lines of artistic ownership, creating a complex dance with copyright law. Current rules often require human authorship, leaving purely AI-generated works unprotected. However, the level of human involvement in crafting prompts and selecting outputs sparks debate. Can these interactions qualify as authorship? Recent cases involving human-AI collaborations offer mixed signals, with some granting copyright to the final work but not the individual AI output. Meanwhile, concerns simmer about copyright infringement, both by AI outputs resembling existing works and by training data potentially containing unlicensed content. As AI artistry evolves, legal frameworks struggle to keep pace, demanding adjustments to ensure fair attribution, incentivize innovation, and protect creativity across the human-machine spectrum.
