The Copyright Conundrum: AI-Generated Art and the Future of Generative AI

The US copyright office review board has ruled that an AI-generated image, Théâtre d’Opéra Spatial, cannot be copyrighted because it was not made sufficiently by humans. The artist, Jason Allen, claimed authorship of the image by using an AI-platform and providing prompts and adjustments. However, the board determined that if all elements of a work were produced by a machine, it lacks human authorship and is ineligible for copyright protection. This decision adds to the ongoing debate about the impact of AI on creative industries, including concerns raised by writers, actors, musicians, and photographers. Additionally, the article mentions the declining practical use and value of NFTs, with 95% of over 73,000 studied tokens being deemed of no practical value.

AI-Generated Art Deemed Unprotected by Copyright Law Due to Absence of Human Authorship

A federal judge in the US has ruled that AI-generated art is not eligible for copyright protection since it lacks human authorship. The judge cited previous cases where copyright protection was denied to artwork created without human involvement. The ruling comes after computer scientist Dr. Stephen Thaler sued the US Copyright Office for rejecting his attempt to copyright an AI-generated artwork. The judge acknowledged the complex questions surrounding the level of human input required for copyright protection in the age of generative AI. However, in this case, where Thaler admitted no human involvement in the creation of the artwork, the judge ruled against copyright protection. Thaler plans to appeal the decision.

Grammys to Only Recognize Human-Created Music for Awards.

The Recording Academy has announced new rules for the Grammy Awards, including a requirement that "only human creators" can win the music industry's highest honor, in response to the use of artificial intelligence in popular music. The Academy also made changes to other categories, including a new rule that to win a nomination for the album of the year category, a music creator has to account for at least 20% of the work. The number of nominees in the "Big Four" categories has been decreased from 10 to eight, and the best improvised jazz solo award has been renamed best jazz performance.
