• Outputs from AI, on their own cannot obtain copyright protection.

• However, if a human selects, arranges, or modifies AI output in a sufficiently creative way, the resulting work might be eligible for copyright.

• In such cases, the copyright will only protect the human-authored aspects of the work, not the AI-generated portions.

1. Publishing a multi-section report on AI's impact on copyright (digital replicas in spring, AI-generated works in summer, and training AI models on copyrighted works later).

2. Updating the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices with guidelines on AI-generated material.

3. Collaborating with economists to research copyright and AI intersections.

4. Providing ongoing updates on the AI initiative via their webpage.

1. Creators using generative AI can apply Creative Commons (CC) licenses to their contributions, even though AI-generated portions may be uncopyrightable.

2. The use of CC0 is encouraged for works lacking significant human creativity to clarify their intellectual property status and support public domain growth.
