AI CONCISE SUMMARY: In August 2022, AI-generated artwork “Theatre D’opera Spatial” created by Jason M. Allen won a category at the Colorado State Fair but was rejected for copyright protection due to current laws and precedents. In September, Allen applied for registration of an image using AI-generated model Midjourney, but his application was denied because of significant AI content. He argued that denying copyright would create a “void of ownership,” but the Copyright Office rejected this claim.
