US Copyright Office allows registration of AI content
The US Copyright Office has issued an important update to rules regarding protection of content created using artificial intelligence. According to the new document “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence, Part 2: Copyrightability,” AI-created works can now receive copyright protection – provided there is substantial human contribution or editing.
This decision marks a major shift in the agency’s policy, which previously cancelled the copyright registration for the graphic novel “Zarya of the Dawn” by artist Kris Kashtanova, created using the Midjourney AI image generator. The new document is the second part of a report initially published in July 2024.
The Office emphasizes that human creativity remains central to copyright law and intellectual property rights, despite the growing use of AI tools in artistic and commercial creation. This decision is particularly important for large companies, as it gives them confidence in protecting brands and intellectual property when integrating branded products and trademarks into AI-created media content.
As an example, the document mentions the high-profile Coca Cola holiday advertisement released late last year using artificial intelligence technologies. The new rules guarantee protection for such commercial works if they include substantial human contribution in the creation process.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Dongfeng deploys 1.7m tall Walker S robots with 41 servosDongfeng Motor joins forces with Ubtech Robotics to integrate innovative Walker S robots into production lines. These technological marvels standing 1 meter and 70 centimeters tall are ready to transform traditional automobile assembly processes. Dongfeng Motor's general manager emphasizes that implementing artificial intelligence in these robots will significantly improve the quality of component inspection and assembly.
MIT graduate student reduced painting restoration from 230 to 3.5 hoursMIT graduate student Alex Kachkin developed a cool method for painting restoration using artificial intelligence. Reducing work time from many months to several hours. As a demonstration, he restored a work by an unknown Dutch master of the 15th century that had seriously suffered from time.
AI prosthetic from Canada analyzes objects and decides how to grasp themArtificial intelligence gives prosthetics independence! Scientists from Memorial University of Newfoundland created a revolutionary arm prosthetic that literally "thinks" for itself. Unlike traditional models that require reading muscle signals through sensors, the new device is completely autonomous.
DeepSeek packed LLM engine into 1200 lines of Python codeThe DeepSeek team presented nano-vLLM. This is a lightweight and compact engine for running large language models. Which could change perceptions about code efficiency. Amazingly, all functionality fit into just 1200 lines of Python code! This is true technological minimalism in the world of artificial intelligence. Traditional engines like this, for all their power, often suffer from an overloaded codebase. Which makes their modification a real trial for developers. Nano-vLLM solves this problem by offering a simple but powerful tool without unnecessary complexity. The code is open.
Tesla robotaxi failure: 11 traffic violations in first days from 20 carsThe dream of robotaxis faces harsh reality! Tesla launched public tests of autonomous taxis in Austin, but the results were far from the promised technological miracle. In the first days of testing, at least 11 serious traffic violations were recorded. And this with only 20 vehicles selected for a limited circle of bloggers. Philip Koopman, professor at Carnegie Mellon University and expert on autonomous technologies, doesn't hide his surprise: "This is terribly fast for so many videos with unstable driving to appear".
