The US Copyright Office just released a 52-page report on their stance towards content created by and with AI.

Here are the main takeaways:

• AI-generated content alone cannot be copyrighted – A human must make creative arrangements or modifications to the output to be protected.
• Simply issuing prompts to an AI system does not qualify for copyright protection.
• Using AI as a tool as part of a larger human-generated work does not prevent copyright protection.
• No new laws are needed. Existing copyright law principles are flexible enough to apply to AI technology.
