The Copyright Office is studying AI copyright issues and policy responses. (3/15/24).
The Copyright Office added in the following change on Jan. 27, 2024: The US Copyright Office has ruled that AI-generated content may be copyright protected if it's unique and original. However, the Copyright Office won't register work that lacks human authorship because the traditional elements of authorship were generated by a machine. For example, the US government has ruled that an award-winning piece of AI art can't be copyrighted because it's too much "machine" and not enough "human".
