AI Image Is Not Copyrightable, Gov’t Tells High Court

By Editorial Team

The U.S. government has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to reject an appeal from a computer scientist over whether an image created by an artificial intelligence system he developed can qualify for copyright protection, arguing that existing law clearly limits copyrights to human authors.

The case involves a computer scientist seeking copyright protection for an image generated by an artificial intelligence system. The U.S. government has weighed in, stating that copyright law only extends to human authors, not AI systems.

The government’s stance sets the stage for a significant legal battle over the copyrightability of AI-generated works and raises important questions about the intersection of technology and intellectual property law.

Stay tuned for further developments as the case progresses through the legal system.
