SUMMARY

AI-generated images face complex copyright challenges, with the U.S. Copyright Office maintaining that copyright protection requires human authorship. Key cases like Zarya of the Dawn and Thaler v. Perlmutter established that purely AI-generated works aren't eligible for copyright protection. Legal disputes involve companies like Getty Images suing Stability AI and authors suing Microsoft over unauthorized use of copyrighted materials in AI training. The Generative AI Copyright Disclosure Act proposes requiring disclosure of copyrighted works used in AI training. Publishers should review licensing agreements, provide proper attribution, and stay informed about evolving legal developments.

SUMMARY

Copyright protection for AI-generated images depends on human creative involvement. Purely AI-generated images from text prompts generally aren't eligible for copyright protection due to lack of human authorship. However, significant human collaboration in shaping, selecting, or editing AI output may qualify for protection. Text prompts themselves don't qualify for copyright. Training AI on copyrighted datasets without permission remains legally contentious with ongoing lawsuits. Publishers must assess human creative contribution to determine copyright eligibility and document human-AI collaboration for legal compliance.
