Ai may be used as a tool in this course.
Elements from Ai may be used to collage with your work.
Poses may be developed in Ai for reference.
Work finished by the Ai is not acceptable as your own work.
The Ai software must be listed as a tool in your proof of workflow, the same as listing photoshop as a software must be listed.
You must show the process of your work, the AI generator name, and your prompts.
There is a line that can be drawn on how much the Ai is a part of your work and how much you have created the work. (This is still to be determined by the courts).
You will need to prove that a significant amount of the work was done is by you.
In this way, we can also learn from each other on the process of using Ai as a tool.
A human cannot own the copyright of a work created by Ai, although this is under discussion in the international community.
It has been proven that Ai assisted works can be copyrighted.

In September 2022, the US Copyright Office made history when they issued an unprecedented registration for a comic book named Zarya of the Dawn. The book was developed using text-to-image AI tool Midjourney. The author declared that the artwork was AI-assisted rather than solely generated by the AI. In addition to AI generated images, she crafted and structured the story, designed each page’s layout and made artful decisions to arrange all of its components.

The Zarya of the Dawn case is a starting point for legal discussions on copyright and artificial intelligence, but it does not establish a precedent. It is likely that more cases will follow and may even be brought before the Supreme Court.
A single court case does not set a precedent that is binding on other courts, although it can be persuasive and serve as a useful guide or reference for future cases. Precedent is established through the decisions of higher courts, such as appeals courts or the Supreme Court, which can provide guidance on how similar cases should be decided in the future. In the United States, the Supreme Court is the highest court and its decisions set binding precedent for all other courts to follow. It is possible that future cases involving AI and copyright could make their way to the Supreme Court and help to establish precedent in this area of law.

Keegan Moore: KCAD student used Ai to assist in the creation of this piece, it is helping to create a density in the image and allowed him to make the armor contain golden feathers. Keegan heavily manipulated this work after the Ai-generated elements were added.
Elements were collaged to create a concept for the character. See more in his presentation.
