It is still somewhat unclear, but it seems that images generated by a machine learning model are not copyrightable (to quote the US Copyright Office, generated images "lack the human authorship necessary to support a copyright claim"). Whether the model itself is copyrightable is less clear to me, but [0] seems to suggest that it be. All of this depends on the country, but much of the world tends to eventually mimic US copyright law.
