Content generated by AI software will not qualify for copyright  protection, meaning it cannot be copyrighted. Only in cases where human authorship and input into an article is dominant, substantial, and discernible will it be possible to copyright the piece. This means that it is technically legal to use AI to create first drafts or parts of articles, as long as the final piece is then copy-edited, developed, or basically rewritten by a human author who is then for all intents and purposes the creator of the work.
