The recent position taken by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) introduces a clear point: with AI, a “click” is not enough; human creative input is needed to claim authorship of the work. Francesca La Rocca discusses the issue in an article republished by Italian Tech: content generated entirely by an artificial intelligence system is not protected. If, on the other hand, the work is the result of a real human contribution, even if AI is used as a tool, then copyright protection remains valid. This means that attention must be paid to how creative processes and flows are structured, always documenting the human contribution in generating this type of content. AI is a support tool and, for legislators, technology remains anthropocentric.
