AI Copyright Lawsuits: The Battle for Sentient Bots and Unprotected Elements

Stephen Thaler, the inventor of an artificial intelligence (AI) system called DABUS, is appealing a federal judge's decision that he cannot claim copyright for an artwork created by the AI. Thaler has been involved in multiple lawsuits in different countries, arguing that DABUS should be recognized as an inventor. One of his main supporters, Ryan Abbott, believes that machine inventions should be protected to incentivize the use of AI for social good. However, legal experts argue that copyright and patent laws require human authorship and an independent mental conception, which AI systems like DABUS do not possess. The outcome of these cases will have implications for the future of intellectual property rights in the age of generative AI.
