Apr 18, 2024, 01:33 PM

Elisa Shupe, an author, faced initial rejection from the US Copyright Office when she attempted to copyright a book co-written with the AI tool, ChatGPT. However, the Copyright Office recently revised its stance, granting Shupe a 'compilation' copyright specifically for the 'selection, coordination, and arrangement of text' in the novel. This decision marks a significant development in the evolving field of AI and copyright law, potentially setting a precedent for how AI-assisted works are treated legally.
