AI challenges traditional copyright frameworks by creating works that may not have a human author, prompting legal debates on authorship and ownership.

Currently, copyright law does not recognize AI as an author, meaning AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted without human intervention.

AI can both assist in detecting copyright infringements and complicate enforcement by generating content that mimics existing works.

Ethical concerns include the potential for AI to replace human creators and the need for transparency in AI-generated content.

Creators can use digital rights management tools and stay informed about legal developments to safeguard their works against unauthorized AI use.

The Copyright Office is actively researching and providing guidance on how AI intersects with copyright law, aiming to balance innovation with protection.
