The United States Copyright Office has released parts of a report detailing its stance on copyright and artificial intelligence. Part 2, focusing on copyrightability, concludes that existing law is sufficient and no legislative changes are needed, reaffirming that purely machine-generated content is not protectable due to the requirement of human authorship.
