Create copyright to AI-generated content for your US business.
Are you generating AI content for your US business?
There’s a new frontier for you to be aware of: AI law.
With OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Microsoft’s Copilot, Anthropic’s Claude, and other generative AI, artificial intelligence is transforming businesses.
With these advancements come legal challenges, however. A major concern is this: Can you copyright AI-generated content?
The US Copyright Office has clarified that AI-generated content can get copyright protection, but there’re nuances. If you’re using AI to create marketing materials, publications, service products, or even software code, you need to know the rules.
To copyright AI-generated content, human authorship is key. This means that you must be able to show that you, as a human, exercised creative control over the AI’s output.
Simply providing a prompt or using AI as a tool is not enough. You need to be able to demonstrate that you made creative choices that shaped the final product.
For example, you might provide the AI with a detailed outline, substantially contribute to content generation, modify the AI’s output, or select and arrange AI-generated content in a creative way.
The more creative control you exercise, the stronger your copyright claim will be. So, the main factor for your copyright is your creativity.
As the future of law, AI regulations are evolving rapidly. The multitude of legal terms, such as the AI act, law of artificial intelligence, AI in the law, and legal AI – can feel overwhelming. But it’s not artificial law or AL.
By the way, just like law, AI has an LLM. For law, it means master of laws, while for AI – large language model. Although both LLMs are quite different, they have something in common, such as complexity.
Don’t let legal uncertainties hold you back, though. Embrace the power of AI and genAI technologies with the confidence that your business is legally sound.
Now, you know that your genAI content is copyrightable, provided you follow certain guidelines under intellectual property laws. So, you can securely use AI tools in artistic and commercial creation as well as own your creative works driven by innovation in the AI-powered world.
