Artificial intelligence-generated art has boomed in popularity over the years, and with it, so have the legal concerns over ownership and potential infringement. Though AI art is fairly new, there are many legal questions surrounding the works. Law360 interviewed Finnegan partner Margaret Esquenet for her perspective.
Margaret noted that there is the question of how much of the work can be protected by copyright law. A few words of text would be difficult to protect—and even if they could be protected, it leaves the question of whether protection would extend to the resulting image.
"In my opinion, the better approach—or the more likely successful approach—to getting some sort of protection for those sorts of works, whether it's traditional copyright or some other kind of protection—would be legislative, rather than through the Copyright Office or through litigation.”
