An AI logo: whose is it?
Mark asks AI to draw a logo for his café, loves it, and wants to know whether the logo belongs to him under copyright.
COPYRIGHT
The law needs a human author
Bit explains: in many countries, like the US, copyright only protects what a person creates. An image made entirely by AI from one prompt is usually hard to protect, so other people may reuse it.
YOUR PART
Heavy editing changes things
If you use AI for a draft, then redraw and edit a lot yourself, your creative part has a chance to be protected. Laws differ by country and are changing, so for big projects, ask a lawyer.
RISK
Don't copy others
The bigger risk is copying others: asking AI to draw a famous cartoon character or another brand's logo to sell products can break their copyright.
TERMS
Read the tool's terms
Before using AI images for business, read the terms of the tool you use and check whether commercial use is allowed.
