AI is a copyright headache, but that’s changing. For the first time, the US copyright office has accepted and rewarded an AI-based work. All AI-based works were copyright-free till today. Has anything changed? Why is this work credited when copyright restrictions don’t allow it?
Midjourney comic ‘Zarya of the Dawn’. Kris Kashtanova, a New York author, is the first to claim AI authorship. According to her profile and Ars Technica, this is how it is.
This Midjourney-created comic is based on Zendaya. AIComicsbooks offers ‘Zarya of the Dawn’ for free download.
The pages remain unchanged. Kashtanova illustrates the method clearly. The US Copyright Office granted my AI-generated graphic novel copyright. I disclosed the process and put Midjourney on the cover. No further changes were made. Like you see.”
What distinguishes “created by an AI” from “created with AI.” The authorship registration was suggested by a lawyer buddy, who approached him to establish a precedent. One they ultimately achieved.
The distinction between AI and creative work is crucial. The creator wrote the comic, structured it, and chose the ‘prompts’ to make the visuals. The AI was responsible for visualizing the thoughts. This distinguishes her and earned her authorship. Saying ‘Zarya of the Dawn’ is a comic “assisted by an AI”
Despite criticism, copyright does not oppose AI. In recent weeks, AI has created various contest and website issues. A computerized artist won a contest but was disqualified since it was an AI. Shutterstock and Getty graphics have rejected AI graphics for copyright reasons in recent days.
AI is only incompatible with copyright for authorship. Artificial intelligences cannot write since only humans can. Copyright laws do not prohibit it further.
Where to draw the line. This requires understanding “originality”. A ‘prompt’-generated image isn’t original. It’s just following a recipe. There’s little mystery. Lexology recommends considering “the nature of the work”, “the way in which AI has been used”, and “the level of intellectual effort necessary for AI to have produced that result”.
Floodgates are open. ‘Zarya of the Dawn’ foreshadows the future. The Copyright Office allows this form of work registration. Future registrars may acknowledge the authorship of human artists who employ AI to create their works. AI does not eliminate human creativity. Human artists that use AI creatively will be rewarded.
