Hey US residents, the US Copyright Office is soliciting comments on #Copyright and #AI Artificial Intelligence. “The NOI seeks factual information ...

@icedquinn

That was true until march 16th of this year... On match 16th it became possible for AI works to be copyrighted.

@freemo ah so which megaconglomerate bought congress to make that happen
@freemo the ftc guidance document on that was pretty well reasoned (the constitution says to further the useful arts, and since an AI is not a human there is no creativity being performed to be protected)

so i'm assuming this is retardation :blobcatadorable:

@icedquinn

No, not ALL work by AI is copyrightable.. it is only copyrightable if the human "original mental conception" gave "form" to the work.

You can read the statement here:

federalregister.gov/documents/

Here is the relevant quote (its a long document and goes into more detail):

In the case of works containing AI-generated material, the Office will consider whether the AI contributions are the result of “mechanical reproduction” or instead of an author's “own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form.” [24]

The answer will depend on the circumstances, particularly how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work.[25]

This is necessarily a case-by-case inquiry.

Follow

@freemo @icedquinn The prompt is more easily copyrightable than the resulting "work".
