Generative AI is “Generating” novel IP considerations
A plethora of powerful artificial intelligence tools along the likes of Open Art, Stable Diffusion, Deep Dream, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Stability AI, and DeviantArt and Co-Pilot are incessantly raising questions about AI’s potential ramifications on intellectual property law.
Most recently, a United Stated federal judge has ruled that artwork created by artificial intelligence is not copyrightable in the absence of human authorship. The ruling pertains to a lawsuit against the US Copyright Office filed by Stephen Thaler after his application to copyright the image entitled “A Recent Entrance to Paradise” which was generated by “Creativity Machine”, an algorithm developed by Stephen Thaler owned Imagination Engines Incorporated.
