Protection of Generative AI Outputs

Thaler v. Perlmutter
A US case addressing whether a work created entirely by a machine, with no human author, can enjoy copyright protection. The courts upheld the US Copyright Office's position that human authorship is a prerequisite for protection.
We analyzed the case in detail in our article Artificial intelligence is not the author of a work – Thaler v. Perlmutter.
