In a recent ruling, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell affirmed the U.S. Copyright Office\u2019s position that entirely AI generated artworks do not qualify for copyright protection.

Hollywood Writer\u2019s Strike Pays Off<\/strong><\/h2>\n

More than 100 days into a writer\u2019s strike, anxieties have grown over the possibility of Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over the role of scriptwriting. However, intellectual property law has consistently maintained that copyrights are only granted to works created by humans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArtificial Intelligence Lawsuit: AI-Generated Art Not Copyrightable\u201d\u2014The Hollywood Reporter https:\/\/t.co\/tfMhecah2z<\/a><\/p>\n

Judge Howell\u2019s decision came in response to Stephen Thaler\u2019s legal challenge against the government\u2019s refusal to register AI-generated works. Thaler, the CEO of neural network firm Imagination Engines, argued that AI should be acknowledged as an author when it meets the criteria for authorship. Consequently, ownership of the work should be vested in the machine\u2019s owner.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Howell disagreed, emphasizing that human authorship is a fundamental requirement of copyright law. She cited previous cases, such as Burrow-Giles Lithographic Company v. Sarony, which held that protection could only be extended to original intellectual conceptions of human authors. Another case noted that a photograph taken by a monkey couldn\u2019t be copyrighted, as animals don\u2019t qualify for protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Encouraging Human Creation is the Goal<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Judge Howell delved into the purpose of copyright law, highlighting that it aims to encourage human individuals to engage in creative activities. Copyrights and patents, she noted, were conceived as forms of property that the government was established to protect, with the understanding that recognizing exclusive rights in such property would promote science and the arts by incentivizing individuals to create and invent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ruling comes as courts consider the legality of <\/span>AI companies<\/span><\/a> training their systems on copyrighted works. Several lawsuits have been filed in California federal court by artists alleging copyright infringement, which could result in Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies having to dismantle their large language models.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Copyright Office <\/span>reaffirmed<\/span><\/a> in March that most AI-generated works aren\u2019t copyrightable, but AI-assisted materials may qualify for protection in certain instances. A work created with the help of AI can be eligible for copyright if a human has \u201cselected or arranged\u201d it in a sufficiently creative way.<\/span><\/p>\n

This judgment changes the AI and copyright discussion. However, AI-generated art may not be copyrightable, but it emphasizes human creativity in intellectual property.<\/span><\/p>\n
