Digital Image Creation Using AI Risks Copyright Infringement; Bloomberg Law, September 16, 2024

"Generative artificial intelligence has radically transformed the world of digital images. Anyone seeking to make a website, a video, or any other visual media can quickly use an AI program to convert their ideas into a new image with help from a few text prompts. 

The image maker can do so at low cost and without the need to hire a digital artist to create the image. Copyright protection may not be available for the new creation (because a computer and not a human created the image). But the image maker may mistakenly believe that the final AI creation doesn’t infringe others’ copyrights because it’s a new image. This isn’t the case."
