The U.S. Copyright Office said that book images created using the artificial intelligence (AI) program Midjourney should not have been given copyright protection, Reuters news agency reports.
据路透社报道，美国版权局表示，使用人工智能程序Midjourney生成的图书图像不应受到版权保护。
A copyright is a kind of legal protection that bars others from copying works made by the people who created them or own the copyright.
版权是一种法律保护，禁止他人复制创作者或版权所有者的作品。
Zarya of the Dawn writer Kristina Kashtanova will be able to get a copyright for the parts of the book she wrote and ordered.
《黎明的查莉娅》的作者克里斯蒂娜·卡什塔诺娃将能够获得她所编写和整理的这本书的部分版权。
But she will not receive copyright protection for images she made using Midjourney, the office said in its letter.
但美国版权局在信中表示，她使用Midjourney生成的图像不会受到版权保护。
The decision is one of the first by a U.S. court or agency about copyright protection for works created with AI.
这是美国法院就人工智能创作的作品的版权保护做出的首批裁决之一。
The decision comes at a time when AI software like Midjourney, Dall-E and ChatGPT are being used to create written and other materials.
这一裁决是在Midjourney、Dall-E和ChatGPT等人工智能软件被用来生成书面和其他材料的时候做出的。
The Copyright Office said in a letter that it would change its registration for Zarya of the Dawn to leave out images that are not the product of humans.
美国版权局在一封信中表示，其将改变《黎明的查莉娅》的版权注册信息，删除那些因非人类创作的作品而不能获得版权的图像。
The research laboratory Midjourney did not immediately answer a request for comment.
Midjourney研究实验室没有立即回复置评请求。
The Copyright Office had no comment on the decision.
美国版权局对这一决定不予置评。
Kashtanova called it "great news" that she kept the copyright for her story and arrangement of the images.
卡什塔诺娃称这是“好消息”，她保留了自己创作的故事和图像编排的版权。
She said the decision "covers a lot of uses for the people in the AI art community."
她表示，这一决定“涵盖了人工智能艺术界人士的很多用途”。
She added that she and her lawyers were considering how best to press ahead with their argument.
她补充说，她和她的律师正在考虑如何最好地推进他们的论点。
They believe that the images themselves were a "direct expression" of Kashtanova's "creativity and therefore copyrightable."
他们认为，这些图像本身就是卡什塔诺娃“创造力的直接表达”，因此是可以获得版权的。
Midjourney is an AI system that creates images based on written instructions.
Midjourney是一个人工智能系统，它会根据书面指令生成图像。
Kashtanova wrote the text of Zarya of the Dawn, and Midjourney created the book's images based on her instructions.
卡什塔诺娃写了《黎明的查莉娅》的文本，Midjourney根据她的指令生成了这本书中的图像。
The Copyright Office told Kashtanova in October it would reconsider the book's copyright.
美国版权局在10月份告诉卡什塔诺娃，其将重新考虑这本书的版权问题。
The agency said that was because her application did not describe using Midjourney to create the images.
该机构表示，这是因为她的申请中没有描述使用Midjourney创作图片的过程。
The office said that it would give copyright protection for the book's text and the way Kashtanova chose and arranged its elements.
美国版权局表示，其将对这本书的文本以及卡什塔诺娃选择和安排元素的方式进行版权保护。
But it said she was not the "master mind" behind the images themselves.
但美国版权局表示，她并不是这些图像背后的“主脑”。
"The fact that Midjourney's specific output cannot be predicted by users makes Midjourney different for copyright purposes than other tools used by artists," the letter said.
这封信中写道：“用户无法预测Midjourney的具体输出，这一事实使得Midjourney在版权认证方面与艺术家使用的其他工具有所不同。”
