DC District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell says human beings are an “essential part of a valid copyright claim.”
United States District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell ruled on Friday that AI-generated artwork can’t be copyrighted.
Thaler had tried multiple times to copyright the image “as a work-for-hire to the owner of the Creativity Machine,” which would have listed the author as the creator of the work and Thaler as the artwork’s owner, but he was repeatedly rejected.
“Human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright.”
