Artificial intelligence (AI) has most certainly taken over many aspects of life… making things easier? Fascinating? More complex?

Artists are collaborating with AI to engage creatively and produce works that have been inspired by others or sometimes stolen. Regardless, how much of a work can be protected if it is created by or with AI? Is a “human” author still necessary? How “creative” does the work have to be? Is it protected at all by copyright? The rules and laws are continuously changing with the ever increasing number of AI platforms as well as lawsuits and ethical concerns that come along with the use of AI.
