The evolving landscape of AI-generated content is raising new legal questions, and the latest report on copyrightability from the U.S. Copyright Office answers some questions while raising new ones. In this episode of Invisible Machines, Robb Wilson and Josh Tyson welcome back Ed Klaris, Managing Partner at Klaris Law and Columbia Law professor, for a deeper dive into the complexities of copyrightability in the age of generative AI.
As more creators integrate AI into their workflows, the boundaries between human and machine-generated content become increasingly blurred. The Copyright Office’s latest findings attempt to clarify which elements of AI-assisted work can be protected under copyright law—but they also introduce fresh uncertainties. Ed Klaris, drawing from his extensive experience in media law, unpacks these updates and their implications for artists, businesses, and AI developers.
This discussion builds on Klaris’ previous appearance in season 4, where he explored the initial stages of the Copyright Office’s report. Now, with new insights in hand, he helps navigate the shifting terrain of copyright law and generative AI, shedding light on the legal and creative challenges that lie ahead.
Tune in for an insightful conversation that unpacks the legal nuances of AI-driven creativity—and what the future may hold for copyright in the age of invisible machines.
