AI image generators like Dalle are rightfully raising concerns from artists about creative ownership. AI generators are trained on millions of photos and learn to identify things from existing photos. Some of Dalle’s images are machine-made with the user only contributing text prompts, so it’s not copyrightable at all, according to Wired. Remember the monkey selfie copyright case? These images are more likely to be public domain and not owned by anyone, and therefore, free to use. More user input, like editing, could lead to human-made authorship and would be eligible for copyright. But do commercial technology companies own the copyright of the images users manipulate on their platforms? Look at the small print because laws are changing fast.
