Protect AI-generated works in tiers: stronger rights as human involvement grows
What it says
The authors sort AI-generated works into four levels of human involvement, from negligible to complete, and propose a protection system that grants stronger rights as involvement increases. They note its weakness: only the creator knows how involved they were.
A Korean proposal for graded protection rather than an all-or-nothing human authorship rule.
