Copyright guidelines on generative AI

Protection of AI output

Can AI-generated work be protected?

Only the human parts

Only human creative contributions can be registered

Holding

Outputs without human creative intervention cannot be registered. Human creative modifications, or creative selection and arrangement of AI output, can be; Korea's first AI film was registered as a compilation work on that basis.

Korea follows the US-style line: register what you added, not what the AI made.

Principles it bears on

• SupportsCopyright needs a human author; protection follows human creative input, not the machine.
