Copyright and artificial creation: does EU copyright law protect AI-assisted output?

What it says

They propose a four-step test: output qualifies where a human's free and creative choices shape its conception, execution or final redaction.

The reference test for AI-assisted works under EU law, based on a study for the European Commission.
