Headline: "This company got a copyright for an image made entirely with AI"
From the article: "In the certificate of registration, also viewed by CNET, the office said that the AI-generated components were excluded from the copyright claim."
Clickbait aside, it's clear that there was an element of human authorship here, and those aspects of the image are what can be copyrighted. This is in line with recent guidelines that the copyright office provided regarding AI generation.
