AI-generated art cannot receive copyrights, US court says August 21, 2023 at 06:01AM

A work of art created by artificial intelligence without any human input cannot be copyrighted under United States law, a U.S. court in Washington, D.C., has ruled. Only works with human authors can receive copyrights, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said on Friday, affirming the U.S. Copyright Office's rejection of an application filed by computer scientist Stephen Thaler on behalf of his DABUS system.
