The Office is issuing a Report in several Parts analyzing the issues, which will be published as they are completed.

Artists Rights Society is committed to informing and educating its members about the evolving landscape of copyright law in relation to AI-generated works. As AI technology continues to advance, it raises complex questions about authorship, ownership, and the protection of creative works. By providing access to these resources, ARS aims to ensure that artists are aware of the latest developments, guidelines, and legal considerations that could impact their rights and livelihoods in the age of AI.
