The article delves into the complex relationship between copyright law and AI-generated imagery, emphasizing the role of human authorship in creating original works. It discusses the necessity for artists to make significant editorial changes to AI-generated images to qualify for copyright protection, citing legal precedents like Burrow-Giles v. Sarony and Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co. The text underscores the importance of an artist's intellectual contributions and enhancements in determining authorship over AI-generated images, advocating for clear guidelines to assess human authorship in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) imagery. By proposing the implementation of the Assessment as a tool for evaluating human authorship in GenAI imagery, the article suggests that standardized criteria could enhance consistency, transparency, and encourage investment in GenAI technology, leading to economic growth and innovation.
