Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has long since arrived in the world of work, including in the field of media design. This work focusses on AI-generated images and examines copyright challenges in this context. It becomes clear that not only the generated images should be considered, but that AI training data and user input also play a significant role. The aim of the work is to provide an overview of the laws and regulations currently in force in Germany. The empirical study carried out confirms that most employees in the field of media design use AI image generators, but at the same time also reveals uncertainties regarding the legal situation in this subject area. Recom- mendations for dealing with AI-generated images are therefore formulated on the basis of the analysis of applicable laws and other regulations. In addition, various approaches to solving the copyright problems associated with the use of AI-generated works are discussed. To summarise, it can be said that the current copyright law can only be applied to modern technologies to a limited extent.
