Copyright on AI Creations: A Legal Gray Area

ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E - AI can create texts, images, and music. But who owns these creations?

Current Situation

  • Prompt creator: Possibly limited rights if prompt is very creative
  • AI company: Often claims usage rights via terms of service

Risks for Commercial Use

  • Check the AI tool's terms of service
  • AI may unknowingly copy existing work
  • No exclusive rights = competitors may use the same
