AI Art and the Copyright Conundrum - The Court Strikes Back, Again..

Introduction: AI, Creativity, and the Law

Once upon a time, the law had a simple job—protecting artists, authors, and creators from having their works stolen or copied. But then came artificial intelligence, complicating everything like an overenthusiastic intern who automates half your job and leaves you wondering what’s left for you to do.
