AWS Certified AI Practitioner AIF-C01 Practice Question

Purely AI-generated text generally is not eligible for copyright because it lacks human authorship.
The copyright automatically belongs to the provider of the generative AI model.
The text is copyrighted for 30 days and then becomes public domain.
Whoever writes the prompt gains full copyright protection over the output.

Answer Description

Most copyright laws, including U.S. and U.K. statutes, require a human author for a work to obtain copyright protection. Material produced autonomously by a generative AI system, without meaningful human creative input, is therefore typically not eligible for copyright. Because no copyright subsists, the company cannot claim exclusive ownership simply by adding a notice. The model provider does not automatically hold the copyright either, and AI-generated text does not enter the public domain after a fixed 30-day period. Prompting alone is not considered sufficient human authorship unless the human's contribution shows creative expression that is reflected in the final text.
