It's a great time to be alive & for us to benefit from our contributions with minimal effort when using AI tools.

According to new copyright laws, something as simple as manually slapping you're brand on an AI creation is enough to qualify for copyright protection😉.

U.S. Copyright Office says AI generated content can be copyrighted — if a human contributes to or edits it.

In an important and helpful update issued today, the U.S. Copyright Office — which administers copyright protections from the government to human-authored works such as films, TV shows, novels, art, music, even software — clarified that some forms of AI generated content can, in fact, receive copyright protection, provided that a human substantially contributed or changed the content in question.

The clarity came in a new document, “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, Part 2: Copyrightability” (a PDF is embedded below), the second portion of a report that was initially released in July 2024.

The report confirms that human creativity remains central to copyright law and intellectual property (IP) rights, even as AI tools become more widely used in artistic and commercial creation.
