This first but I don't think that is how it can be interpreted like that. Looks like it comes down to how much human input was used to guide the AI in the works. The more the human guided the AI the more they have a claim to the copyright is how I read that. Not just all AI content cannot be copyrighted. Which IMO seems like a fair way to apply copyright to AI generated content.
The latter part is basically already handled - look at any film created from a public domain works, Shakespeare plays being a big example here. I would expect non-collectable AI works adapted to film to to be handled the same way. Though I suspect that to create any good movie script with AI you would need significant human input which could lean towards to script having a stronger copyright claim by those that guided the AI.
