US Copyright Office Clarifies AI-Generated Content Ownership

TL;DR Summary
The US Copyright Office has stated that an image generated solely from a text prompt does not qualify for human authorship, but did not rule out recognizing copyright for AI-generated material that has been modified to meet the standard for copyright protection. The Copyright Office will apply its human authorship requirement on a case-by-case basis, considering how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work. The rise of AI image generators has given birth to a new strand of photography, with images that look like real photos but actually started life from a text prompt.
