Copyright on AI images

Today, there are a number of tools for producing images, text and sound using artificial intelligence, AI.

For copyright to be applicable, the creator of the work must be human and must have been able to make free creative choices. Therefore, there is no copyright on an image that is entirely produced with an AI tool where you have asked the computer to create an image based on a text instruction. However, the right of use may be protected through terms of use that you agreed to when you created an account in the tool.
