I’m still finding it funny that in communist China, creators have more intellectual property rights over works made with help from generative AI than they do in the United States… So much for “American competitiveness.”
A court in eastern China’s Jiangsu province has ruled in favour of copyright protection for artificial intelligence-generated content, marking the second case of its kind in mainland China as the technology continues to raise questions about intellectual property rights.
In a ruling made public on Friday, the Changshu People’s Court said that a picture generated with the AI tool Midjourney qualified as a copyright-protected work for its originality, as the human user “demonstrated unique selection and arrangement through modifying the prompt texts and refining image details using editing software”.
