Assignment Overview:

<
In this research and writing assignment, you will describe the legal status of creative works generated through artificial intelligence programs such as Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or OpenAI. These programs utilize source material from all over the Internet, some of it copyrighted, to generate creative works based upon text or voice inputs from the user. A businessperson might use these to create sales and advertising materials, for example. Are the creative works that these programs generate (whether they be in the form of art, music, writing, or other creative medium) subject to any legal limitations? If not, should they be? And what about ethical implications, if any? Please explain.
