The Copyright Office has a clear policy on AI.

An artist who infamously duped an art contest with an AI image is suing the U.S. Copyright Office over its refusal to register the image’s copyright.

In the lawsuit, Jason M. Allen asks a Colorado federal court to reverse the Copyright Office’s decision on his artwork Theatre D’opera Spatialbecause it was an expression of his creativity.

Reuters says the Copyright Office refused to comment on the case while Allen in a statement complains that the office’s decision “put me in a terrible position, with no recourse against others who are blatantly and repeatedly stealing my work.”

    In the case of someone saying I want a song that is ABAG, and they ask that it be written down because they cannot write it down themselves

    Then we are again in a commissioner situation. The guy who commissioned a composer to write them a song according to their specifications.

    In regards to your bucket of paint.

    That’s an art installation which you can copyright. The resulting artwork on the canvas can’t be.
