Copyright at Trent

Report of the Government of Canada's consultation with stakeholders on potential copyright policy directions with regard to generative AI.

Description of July 2024 filing in the Canadian Federal Court to expunge or amend a copyright registration naming an artificial intelligence as a co-author.

Application to expunge or amend a copyright registration naming an artificial intelligence as a co-author.

In early 2023, the Copyright Office launched an initiative examining copyright law and policy issues raised by artificial intelligence (AI), including the scope of copyright in AI-generated works and the use of copyrighted materials in AI training. After hosting public listening sessions and webinars, the Office published a notice of inquiry in the Federal Register in August 2023, which received over 10,000 comments by December 2023.

The Office is issuing a Report in several Parts analyzing the issues, which will be published as they are completed. On July 31, 2024, the Office published Part 1 of the Report, which addresses the topic of digital replicas.
