This is great news for everyone considering using fully or partially AI-generated work in their production workflow. We are thrilled to be part of this revolution. Article via arstechnica.com:

A graphic artist has received the first known U.S. copyright registration for artworks created by an AI-image generator.

Kris Kashtanova, a designer and artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiast, posted an email on Instagram confirming their copyright registration for a graphic novel.

“I got Copyright from the Copyright Office of the USA on my AI-generated graphic novel. I was open how it was made and put Midjourney on the cover page. It wasn’t altered in any other way,” Kashtova writes.

“I tried to make a case that we do own copyright when we make something using AI. I registered it as visual arts work. My certificate is in the mail and I got the number and a confirmation today that it was approved. My friend lawyer gave me this idea and I decided to make a precedent.”
