EFF urges courts not to expand copyright protections for AI-generated works

What happened

The EFF argues that courts should resist pressure to broaden copyright law in response to generative AI, citing historical technology panics. It cites ongoing litigation such as Concord Music Group, Inc. v. Anthropic PBC and In re Mosaic LLM Litigation. The statement emphasizes that AI tools can augment creativity and that expanding copyright could stifle innovation.
