All the AI-generated images in this textbook have no copyright and are not eligible for copyright protection. At present, these AI-generated images are immediately released into the public domain under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. While there are numerous questions and complexities around openly sharing AI-generated content, we draw upon the principles and guidance of the Creative Commons organization, which advocates for the ethical and equitable sharing of knowledge and culture. As Kat Walsh (2023) articulates: “We encourage the use of CC0 for those works that do not involve a significant degree of human creativity to clarify the intellectual property status of the work and to ensure the public domain grows and thrives.”

For a deeper understanding of CC licensing concerning the outputs of generative AI, we suggest visiting the Creative Commons website and reviewing the recommended readings we have selected. If you wish to adapt any chapters from our textbook, we hope you will replace our AI-generated images with images you create or generate. We have provided the prompts for generating AI images to guide and inspire you.
