Only works with human authors can receive copyrights, US District Judge Beryl Howell says, affirming the Copyright Office's rejection of an application filed by computer scientist Stephen Thaler on behalf of his DABUS system
A work of art created by artificial intelligence without any human input cannot be copyrighted under US law, a US court in Washington, DC, has ruled.on Friday, August 18, affirming the Copyright Office’s rejection of an application filed by computer scientist Stephen Thaler on behalf of his DABUS system.
Thaler has also applied for DABUS-generated patents in other countries including the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and Saudi Arabia with limited success. The fast-growing field of generative AI has raised novel intellectual property issues. The Copyright Office has also rejected an artist’s bid for copyrights on images generated through the AI system Midjourney despite the artist’s argument that the system was part of their creative process.
“We are approaching new frontiers in copyright as artists put AI in their toolbox,” which will raise “challenging questions” for copyright law, Howell wrote on Friday.Thaler applied in 2018 for a copyright covering “A Recent Entrance to Paradise,” a piece of visual art he said was created by his AI system without any human input. The office rejected the application last year and said creative works must have human authors to be copyrightable.
