I wonder about how companies are approaching letting their customers understand what is and isn't copyrightable with the results of these ai models.
The us copyright office has made it clear that elements of designs that lack human authorship cannot be copyrighted. A prompt is not enough - the same way if you provided a prompt to an artist while commissioning a work does not grant you copyright to that work. The results (including specific elements) of these ai models cannot be copyrighted which has extreme implications to commerical art in general. If you have your ai models come up with a character you cannot claim copyright of that character. If your ai models comes up with a composition you cannot claim copyright on that composition.
If you use the ai to generate an idea and then have a human develop the idea, the elements of the design that the ai came up with cannot be copyrighted because they lack human authorship.
Commercial operations that care about ip beware.
- stravant 4y agoI don't see how this will possibly be relevant. AI generated content is about to sprint so far ahead of the existing legal framework that something will just have to give.
- LegitShady 4y agoon the opposite - existing legal frameworks protect human works, and altering them to allow corporations to own any idea they can provide a prompt for is directly harmful to society and the future of intellectual property in every country. using ml is already powerful and fast. protecting ideas from mass corporate ownership so that your grandchildren will be allowed to think freely is more important than chat gpt or stable diffusion or whatever algorithm replaces them next week.
