The threshold issue of human authorship as a prerequisite for obtaining copyright registration at the US Copyright Office is currently being litigated in federal court in the District...
An artificial intelligence inventor has bashed the U.S. Copyright Office's arguments that art created by his AI system is not copyrightable because the machine is not human, telling the D.C. Circuit that the government cannot overcome the fact that the work exists, it's original and it qualifies for registration, regardless of its origin.
Recent debates about AI patentability have focused on whether the outputs of an AI system, such as a neural network, can be patented. If you thought that was a cutting-edge question, then consider whether an input to an AI system, such as a prompt to a large language model (LLM), can be patented.
LONDON (Reuters) -A U.S. computer scientist on Wednesday lost his bid to register patents over inventions created by his artificial intelligence system in a landmark case in Britain about whether AI can own patent rights. Stephen Thaler wanted to be granted two patents in the UK for inventions he says were devised by his "creativity machine" called DABUS. His attempt to register the patents was refused by Britain's Intellectual Property Office on the grounds that the inventor must be a human or a company, rather than a machine.
A federal district court held in Thaler v. Perlmutter that an AI-generated image, "A Recent Entrance to Paradise," cannot be copyrighted due to the lack of sufficient human contribution to its creation.
