The essence of copyright and AI is that if a machine created something, then a lower court ruling in the US stands that no one can own it. "Not the AI, the company running the AI nor the person who used it." But what about cases where the AI was only partially involved? That's the current question. "Now the courts must decide where to draw the line. How much human involvement and intervention is necessary before the law determines a person owns the work? The answer is certainly coming, but we don't have it yet." Still, the balance favours human creativity. "Anything you create, from photos to drawings and writing, carries a special legal protection that machines can't claim. In a world of endless AI output, your creativity counts as something distinct." Via Alan Levine.
