April 1 (Reuters) - Last year, Kris Kashtanova typed instructions for a graphic novel into a new artificial-intelligence program and touched off a high-stakes debate over who created the artwork: a human or an algorithm. "Zendaya leaving gates of Central Park," Kashtanova entered into Midjourney, an AI program similar to ChatGPT that produces dazzling illustrations from written prompts. From these inputs and hundreds more emerged "Zarya of the Dawn," an 18-page story about a character resembling the actress Zendaya who roams a deserted Manhattan hundreds of years in the future. The images in "Zarya," the office said, were "not the product of human authorship." Now, with the help of a high-powered legal team, the artist is testing the limits of the law once again.

Kashtanova wrote the text of "Zarya of the Dawn," and Midjourney created the book's images based on prompts. But it said Kashtanova was not the "master mind" behind the images themselves.

AI art

"Throughout 2021 and 2022, the world began to experiment with a massive influx of commercially available AI-assisted and AI-powered tools that can be used, whether knowingly or unknowingly, during the process of creating, researching, and innovating. Looking ahead to 2023, we will start witnessing the legal and regulatory impact of these tools." In general, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies has the potential to impact society in many ways. These technologies can automate tasks and make them more efficient, which can lead to job displacement and other economic impacts. They can also be used to make decisions that affect people's lives, such as in the criminal justice system or in hiring, which raises ethical concerns.

I was open how it was made and put Midjourney on the cover page. It wasn't altered in any other way," Kashtova writes. I registered it as visual arts work. My certificate is in the mail and I got the number and a confirmation today that it was approved. My friend lawyer gave me this idea and I decided to make a precedent."

The registration, effective September 15, applies to a comic book called Zarya of the Dawn. Kashtanova created the artwork for Zarya using Midjourney, a commercial image synthesis service. I was open how it was made and put Midjourney on the cover page. It wasn't altered in any other way. Just the way you saw it here.
