Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU


Does copyright protect your AI-generated content in EU? Apparently not. Content that is entirely generated by artificial intelligence is not protected by copyright. EU copyright law has strictly human-centric foundation. Daniel J. Gervais: 'When you put your name on an article that's written by ChatGPT or Claude, you're basically putting a provenance mark on it saying: I take responsibility for this. I haven't written it, but I'm putting my name on it. That doesn't give you copyright, but it does give you liability for the content' https://euobserver.com/232898/interview-does-copyright-protect-your-ai-generated-content-in-europe-lets-find-out/ Gervais, Daniel J. and Shemtov, Noam and Marmanis, Haralambos and Zaller Rowland, Catherine, The Heart of the Matter: Copyright, AI Training, and LLMs (September 21, 2024). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=4963711 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4963711 "Munich Local Court has held that AI generated logos do not enjoy copyright protection. Neither mere prompting nor the selection between several AI suggestions is sufficient as a human creative contribution. For businesses, this is ambivalent. On the one hand, content generated purely by AI can hardly be protected on an exclusive basis, which has implications for brand building and content strategies" https://www.germanlawinternational.com/intellectualproperty/copyright/from-the-printing-press-to-ai-how-the-eu-plans-to-modernize-copyright-law-164154/ #law #copyright #LLM #AI #iplaw #intellectualProperty #EU

The economy has spoken. Stuff that’s AI-generated has almost zero value — “Buyers are voting with their wallets, and AI-generated content is struggling to compete.”
