The UK Supreme Court has ruled that AI cannot be named as an inventor, stating that only humans or companies can be considered creators. The decision aligns with a similar ruling in the US, where the US Patent and Trademark Office denied a petition from Stephen Thaler, the founder of the AI system DABUS, to claim AI as an inventor. Thaler had sought to register DABUS as the inventor of a food container and a flashing light beacon, but the UK Intellectual Property Office rejected the request. The case raises questions about how to deal with AI-generated material and whether it can be protected under the law.
