Advertisementįurther Reading Have AI image generators assimilated your art? New tool lets you checkĬurrently, AI image synthesis firms operate under the assumption that the copyright for AI artwork can be registered to a human or corporation, just as it is with the output of any other artistic tool. The copyright owner must be human (or a group of humans, in the case of a corporation). In that case, a researcher attempted to register an AI algorithm as the non-human owner of a copyright, which the Copyright Office denied. It's worth pointing out that an often-cited article in the Smithsonian titled "US Copyright Office Rules AI Art Can't Be Copyrighted" has an erroneous title and is often misunderstood. While the creators of popular AI image synthesis models insist their products create work protected by copyright, the issue of copyright over AI-generated images has not yet been fully resolved. That said, Ars Technica searched the Getty Images library and found AI-generated artwork.
To protect the company's brand and its customers, Getty decided to avoid the issue altogether with its ban.
The ability to copyright AI-generated artwork has not been tested in court, and the ethics of using artists' work without consent (including artwork found on Getty Images) to train neural networks that can create almost human-level artwork is still an open question being debated online.
