Judge rules that AI-generated art isn't copyrightable, since it lacks human authorship

The USCO agreed that the work was generated by an AI model that Thaler calls the Creativity Machine. He claimed that the USCO's "human authorship" requirement was unconstitutional. However, Howell indicated that Thaler's case wasn't an especially complex one, since he admitted that he wasn't involved in the creation of A Recent Entrance to Paradise. "In the absence of any human involvement in the creation of the work, the clear and straightforward answer is the one given by the [Federal] Register: No," Howell ruled. Thaler plans to appeal the decision.
