Listen "1068 WHO OWNS AI ART? COPYRIGHT GETS A REMIX"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of "ThinkFuture," host Chris Kalaboukis tackles the hot topic of copyright and AI-generated art. He dives into a recent shift from the U.S. Copyright Office, which once said AI art couldn’t be copyrighted but now says it can—though who owns it is still a gray area. Chris, not a lawyer but a big thinker, argues that if you type a prompt into an AI image generator—like “bats soaring through a dark sky with glowing eyes”—you’re the creative spark behind it. He compares it to using Photoshop: the tool does the heavy lifting, but your idea makes it happen. Chris believes the copyright should go to the person entering the prompt, since without that input, the image wouldn’t exist. He leaves us pondering if the law will catch up to this logic in our AI-driven world.---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: https://10xyou.usGet AIDAILY every weekday. https://aidaily.usMy blog: https://thinkfuture.com
