About this video
Did you use AI to help write your book? You might think you own the copyright, but you could be wrong. Or maybe you think any AI use means you can't file for copyright. You also could be wrong. In this episode, Julie the Book Broad breaks down what the U.S. Copyright Office actually says about books written (or co-written) by AI, and what authors must do to protect their work.
You’ll learn:
When AI-generated content becomes public domain
How to prove “sufficient human authorship” in your book
The exact steps to disclose AI use and correctly file your copyright
Why registering your copyright matters now more than ever
Whether you’re experimenting with ChatGPT, Claude, or Dibbly Create, this video will help you stay on the right side of the law—and keep your book truly yours.
