Can you copyright AI images and how.

[@MysticMary-g9s]

They need to get people who are more educated on AI in the copyright offices. Especially with how it is evolving. Prompting can actually be very creative and the average person will not be able to create what a skilled prompt engineer could create.

[@Geekatplay]

it is already changing, same things was happening with digital photography, mp3 ...etc

[@normjones6916]

Solid evaluation , :)

I edited an anime image using AI software i applied different background , extended and text. Can i use that image on youtube. Is that image still have copyright issue

[@Geekatplay]

Using AI-edited images on KZbin can be a bit tricky when it comes to copyright. Here's the general idea: If the original anime image is copyrighted: Editing the image, even extensively, may not remove the original copyright. Many anime images are protected, and derivative works (like your AI-edited version) could still be subject to copyright claims. Transformative use: If your editing is highly transformative-meaning it significantly alters the original image's purpose, look, or message-it might qualify as "fair use" in some countries, like the U.S. However, this is not guaranteed and depends on the context (e.g., commentary, parody, or educational purposes). Using original backgrounds/text: If the background and text you added are entirely original or from a copyright-free source, that part is safe. The issue lies primarily with the anime base image. Safer alternatives: Use anime-style art generated entirely by AI without using copyrighted images. License the original image from the copyright holder or ensure it’s from a copyright-free source. Credit the source artist and state how the image was edited (not always legally necessary, but it can help). If you’re monetizing your KZbin content or the image is a critical part of your video, it’s best to consult legal guidelines for your country or use copyright-free materials to avoid potential claims.

what did you find out in regards to the stick man?

[@FrankJonen]

Copyright is for human created images only. You'd have to make "substantial" alterations to the image in order for it to become your copyright.

[@Geekatplay]

it does not specified on "substantial"

[@FrankJonen]

@@Geekatplay "substantial" was defined a couple of years ago in one of the derivative art cases. I think it was > 60% it's original work.

[@Kilroy01]

If they say AI can not be copyrighted, then neither can photos that have been created or composited in Photoshop. Nor movies that were edited in video software. What is the difference between us guiding a piece of software than an artist guiding a paint brush? It's all tools that are used to bring our thoughts to a real form to be used and shared.

laws about technology created by people who does not understand what technology is

[@OriBengal]

Fantastic insights Vlad --- Definitely makes us think..... I'm still confused, of course, as to how someone can even prove if your image was AI made in the first place, or not... And if you used Inpainting and such, then that's human interaction.... But even with the ghosted image - or any of these use cases... how one enforces / proves the usage, etc... Pretty confusing stuff. I get the principle, completely understand what you showed... very clever... just confused as to the legal ramifications and practicality. Like I said=- makes me think.

[@Geekatplay]

They can not, if you remove meta info. it is all come back to the honesty of the creator.

[@rylocplayz5861]

So, if i take a midjourney image, put unique noise, i can copyright the noise?

[@willdwyer6782]

no because midjourney uses a copyright protected algorithm and you're paying them for a license to use it.

[@zombiemillionaire6397]

So im thinking Instead of having my artist drawing 100 images, they can draw 5 and I can have Ai create images based on those. This will work. correct?

[@vVulkan]

What if I generate art locally on my pc with Stable Diffusion... Can I copyright it?

[@Geekatplay]

it doesn't matter if you generating local on remote

[@MichaelFlynn0]

There is absolutely no way you can copywrite AI images unless you have an established brand and character and heavyweight legal ( multi million dollar ) firm, willing to back you. Where ( which country ) for instance would you register the copyright ?

[@Geekatplay]

That is another problem. What country recognize it. When I lived in Soviet Union, we did not give crap about any copyright and government was encourage us to get any "capitalist" created assets for free

[@stockfootagez]

wut? Hundreds of thousands AI-generated imeages are already selling on microstocks fo royalty-free lisense, ToS of Midjourney directly says that user own all the rights on generated picture.

[@Geekatplay]

you can sell them, but they are con not be copyrighted.

[@scetchmonkey007]

Now all you need to do is publish a small book, a paperback with your images and work flow and see if you can get a copyright on all your final images.

[@Geekatplay]

i am planning on it

The US copyright office is full of it. If you create something in 3D or photoshop, you can copyright it. If you create it in AI, then you can't. That's just stupid. Take an AI image and put it through pshop and then it's copyrightable? The whole thing is so silly. Here's the problem though. Modern AI software can input ANY image. Therefore, once that AI changes the original image, it can no longer hold copyright either? Images past 70 images after the death of artist go into the public domain without heavy duty lawyers like Disney has. And in a practical sense, the USCO can only intake 50 images at a time anyway. You can't physically copyright everything you create. The EU is different, though. There the images are instantly copyrighted when you create them. The main issue is selling the images to a buyer before someone sees them and copies them and throws them into an AI program and starts ripping off your AI/pshop/hybrid style, because people will feel more justified to steal, thinking everything is made by AI. We are in a weird time.

[@lindam2305]

The copyright office says they can't be copyrighted. Anyway, AI is just using AI generated images that belonged to the original creators.

[@Geekatplay]

All art based on work of the artists who was before us, nothing is original, we just working with combinations of the already created ideas ;)

[@prak_art_i]

​@@GeekatplayYeah, but human art still holds some ounce of originality, ai just alters the images without asking for the artist's permission. AI doesn't have any thought process, like humans do.

[@WakandaForever1776]

i love yer videos but they are already using AI for bad puposes

[@Geekatplay]

what do you consider good purposes?

[@prak_art_i]

​​@@GeekatplayWhen artists use their own art to produce more art via AI
