Primer

As generative AI systems become increasingly capable of producing text, images, music, and other creative outputs, a fundamental copyright question has moved to the forefront: can prompting itself constitute a creative act? The third primer in The Dialogue’s AI & Copyright series examines how copyright law’s originality requirement applies in an era where human creativity […]

(𝘈𝘐 & 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘺𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴) Human Authorship in Copyright Law examines one of the most consequential questions emerging in the age of generative AI: can copyright law continue to function without a human author at its centre? As AI systems increasingly generate text, images, music, and audiovisual content with minimal human intervention, longstanding assumptions around originality,

Generative artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how content is created, distributed, and consumed. From text and images to music, code, and video, AI systems are now capable of producing outputs that closely resemble human creativity—often with minimal human intervention. As these capabilities scale, they are raising a foundational legal question:What exactly qualifies as an “AI
