Transcript
00:00 A United States court says a work of art created by artificial intelligence without human input
00:06 cannot be copyrighted under U.S. law.
00:08 The ruling affirms the U.S. Copyright Office's rejection of an application filed by computer
00:13 scientist Stephen Thaller on behalf of his AI system.
00:16 Thaller filed for U.S. patents covering inventions created by his device for the autonomous bootstrapping
00:22 of Unified Sentience, or DABUS.
00:24 Thaller also applied for DABUS-generated patents in other countries, including the United Kingdom,
00:29 South Africa, Australia and Saudi Arabia, with limited success.
00:33 Thaller's attorney says they will appeal.
00:36 The fast-growing field of generative AI raises novel intellectual property issues.
00:40 The U.S. Copyright Office maintains creative works must have human authors to be copyrightable,
00:46 saying it "believes the court reached the correct result."
00:49 (gentle music)
