The US Copyright Office has ruled that illustrations in a new comic book that were created with the AI program Midjourney are not protected by copyright law.
According to a letter issued by the Copyright Office the comic book, Zarya of the Dawn, was written by Kristina Kashtanova, and the Copyright Office notes the text of the publication is still covered by copyright. But the drawings, which were all created by Midjourney, don’t get any of the same intellectual property protections.
