The U.S. Copyright Office has allowed a registration for a visual collage consisting of elements that were AI-generated. The author remains anonymous, but the work is titled “A Collection of Objects Which Do Not Exist.“
The Copyright Office registered the work as “2-D artwork, images generated by artificial intelligence” on the basis of “collage, selection and arrangement.”
This is the second visual AI-generated artwork to be registered by the Copyright Office. The first work, titled “A Single Piece of American Cheese,” was not a collage, but was also registered based on a selection, coordination, or arrangement of AI-generated elements.
The door is now open. Expect more AI-generated images to be registered based on selection, coordination, and arrangement of elements — precisely the position I advanced nearly two years ago.
