AI ruling by US Copyright Office probably relates to CCTV and automated photos and videos[edit]
- AI-Generated Images Cannot Be Copyrighted, Says the US Copyright Office. April 3, 2023. By Ivanna Attié. Stock Photo Secrets.
Copyright Can Only Apply to Human-Made Works
The definition of copyright that governs the USCO’s policies (and the copyright policies in most parts of the world) considers that it applies to the protection of intellectual property and authorship rights over original, creative works produced by a human.
In its new guidance, the USCO has reaffirmed they’re still going by this definition. In consequence, AI-generated images cannot be copyrighted because they are not, in fact, produced by a human but by a machine.
But human intervention can make AI images copyrightable:
They say that if there is proof of enough human control of the creative process, an image can be copyrighted even if AI tools were used as part of said process. It’s important to consider that, given the lack of defined standards as to what “enough human influence” means –at least for now– the Office would evaluate these in a case-by-case manner.
All of the above probably applies to CCTV and automated photos and videos. Details to come as the US Copyright Office makes further rulings. See the deletion discussion for possible variations in human intervention. --Timeshifter (talk) 06:25, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
