US Federal Judge: AI-Generated Art Deemed Uncopyrightable
TL;DR
A US Federal Judge has ruled that AI-generated artwork cannot be copyrighted, stating that human authorship is a fundamental requirement for copyright. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Stephen Thaler against the US Copyright Office, which had repeatedly rejected his attempts to copyright an AI-generated image. The judge cited previous cases, including the famous monkey selfie case, to support her decision. While acknowledging the potential for AI to be used as a tool in creating new art, the judge emphasized the need for human input. Thaler plans to appeal the ruling.
