Evolution of the Understanding of Aspects of Authorship Related to the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the United States of America
( Pp. 14-19)

The purpose of the research. The proposed article provides an overview of the aspects of authorship in relation to works containing materials generated by artificial intelligence. They are disclosed by the U.S. Copyright Office in the Copyright Registration Guidance dated March 16, 2023. The understanding of the authorship of such works was formed in US court precedents and is reflected in recent decisions of the USCO regarding works created using artificial intelligence technologies. The USCO continues to monitor new factual and legal changes related to artificial intelligence and copyright. Results. To current date, the requirements for authors have remained traditional, and applicants for copyright registration must orient on historically established relations in this area, even with respect to works containing materials generated by artificial intelligence.
