AI Creates Art, But Rights Remain with Humans

Steven Thaler from Missouri tried to register copyright for a painting created by his AI system DABUS.

⚖️ The U.S. Copyright Office denied the application, stating that only a human can be an author. Thaler's lawyers warn that the refusal will slow down the development of generative AI in the creative industry.

The problem is not only the law — with the rise of AI, more and more people are using algorithms to create paintings, music, and text. The question arises: who is the real author? The human who pressed the button, or the AI that generated the work?
