Analysis
From text generators like Chat GPT to AI art generators like DALL·E, the recent explosion in the popularity of AI tools has led to creators exploring ways to incorporate AI tools into their work. But this opens them up to a whole host of legal issues.
As previously reported by Passionfruit, creators have become divided over the use of AI in making art, with several online artists claiming that the algorithm stole and reproduced artists without credit in order to produce its creations.
And after a few months of speculation, the law is sparking new debate among creators, with the U.S. Copyright Office releasing a letter explaining their decision to cancel a portion of the copyright registration it previously issued for Kristina Kashtanova’s graphic novel, Zarya of the Dawn.
