  abstract = {The US Copyright Office published Part 2 of its Copyright and AI series in January 2025, addressing the copyrightability of AI-assisted and AI-generated works. The report confirms that purely AI-generated outputs are not protectable under US copyright law regardless of prompt complexity, while human selection, arrangement or significant modification of AI material can qualify for protection. It covers all creative output types including image, video, audio and text, and represents the operative US registration position that educators must convey to students working with generative tools.},
