Music Radar - It’s official. Work (be it art or music or any kind of content, it seems) produced 100% by AI cannot be copyrighted. That is, if a machine made it, then no human can claim ownership and profit from it.
That’s the new ruling of the U.S. Federal Appeals Court on 18 March 2025, upholding a regulation imposed previously based on the Copyright Act of 1976, which established the rules on human authorship and such long-standing tenants in law as copyright lasting for 70 years beyond an author’s demise.
That ruling early this year was designed to update that law to cope with the upcoming influx of AI-generated content, and decided that: “Based on the fundamental principles of copyright, the current state of fast-evolving technology, and the information received… the Copyright Office concludes that existing legal doctrines are adequate and appropriate to resolve questions of copyrightability.
