Imagine AI prompts as the modern-day paintbrush, pen, or camera—tools that blend human creativity with machine precision to create stunning, original, copyrightable works. In this episode, I’ll explain why AI-generated art, writing, code, and more deserve full copyright protection and how innovative prompts are reshaping the way we think about authorship.

While the U.S. Copyright Office currently holds that a work must have sufficient human authorship to qualify for protection, I’ll challenge that interpretation. I believe crafting AI prompts can be an art form in and of itself, requiring creative vision, intellectual effort, and iteration—just like a painter perfecting a masterpiece. We’ll dive into the four key reasons why AI-assisted creations should be considered under the same legal protection as traditional art forms, from how prompts act like brushstrokes to how human creativity drives the final result.

Get ready for a bold, fresh take on copyright in the AI era and discover why the future of creativity involves a seamless collaboration between human and machine.
