"Dr. Stephen Thaler, who has been fighting to have his AI machines recognized as both inventors and creators on several fronts for the last few years, has petitioned for rehearing of his case in Thaler v. Perlmutter by the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which in March affirmed the denial of a copyright application filed by one of Thaler's generative AI systems."
"asks the full court to "correct errors that will have far-reaching and harmful consequences." The pettion argues the panel's decision is "already casting a shadow over the AI and creative industries" and claims the copyright statute has no language requiring a human author. The work at issue is titled "A Recent Entrance to Paradise" generated by Thaler's Creativity Machine. The Copyright Office Review Board on February 14, 2022 affirmed the Office's decision denying registration of the two-dimensional artwork generated by Creativity Machine."
Dr. Stephen Thaler filed a petition for rehearing by the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit after a March panel affirmed denial of copyright for a work generated by his generative AI. The D.C. Circuit panel agreed with the Copyright Office that the Copyright Act of 1976 requires initial authorship by a human being. Thaler argues the panel erred, claims the statute contains no human-authorship language, and warns the ruling harms AI and creative industries. The contested artwork, "A Recent Entrance to Paradise," was produced by Thaler's Creativity Machine and was denied registration by the Copyright Office Review Board.
