AIPPI Resolution: Copyright in artificially generated works
AIPPI World Congress, London · 2019-09 · Proposal · non-binding
AIPPI Resolution, World Congress London, adopted 18 September 2019
Can AI-generated work be protected?
Closer to human authors only
No copyright for works made by AI alone; human input required
Why hereCloser to 'human authors only': no copyright for works made by AI without human intervention. Not at the pole, because it leaves room for a related right.
What it says
The resolution excludes genuine copyright protection for works created solely by AI without human intervention, while leaving room for limited related-rights protection and noting further study is needed as AI develops.
IP practitioners worldwide agreed early that copyright needs a human contribution.
