[QUOTE="Prime_Evil, post: 9225959, member: 11984"] The current guidance from the US Copyright Office is in the publication "Copyright Registration Guidance for Works Containing AI-Generated Materials" (Federal Register Version, 88 Fed. Reg. 16,190 [Mar. 16, 2023]). Where a work has a mixture of human authorship and machine-generated content, the current guidelines require the human to clearly distinguish between the human generated portions and the machine generated portions. They must also explicitly disclaim all Copyright on the machine generated portions, releasing them into the public domain. Failure to meet these two requirements will result in denial of copyright to the composite work. This is obviously not a viable position for any licensor of a movie IP to be in. Having said that, the Copyright Office is requesting public consultation regarding the future of how IP laws will treat these technologies. So the landscape may change. This is an evolving area. I suspect things might look very different in a few years time. But most publishers will be reluctant to go anywhere near generative AI until the law is sorted [/QUOTE]
