The solution lies in denying authorship rights (ie., natural rights of authorship) to programs. This will prevent claiming copyrights on AI-generated content.

A fundamental issue with granting authorship rights on AI/program generated content to the AI/programs is that what happens when two people use the same AI and generate two different works using similar prompts that also look similar? Are they each infringing on each other? This issue is unsettled.

The case law on this is evolving in various jurisdictions.

Case law from India:

Aug 2021: India recognises AI as co-author of copyrighted artwork https://www.managingip.com/article/2a5czmpwixyj23wyqct1c/exc...

Dec 2021: Indian Copyright Office issues withdrawal notice to AI co-author https://www.managingip.com/article/2a5d0jj2zjo7fajsjwwlc/exc...
