"Continued silence by the Court on this issue is no longer helpful. As their amicus brief notes, the Supreme Court has not issued any substantial ruling on AI despite the technology's proliferation across financial markets and political discourse."
"Thaler filed his petition early last October, challenging the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit's ruling affirming that human authorship as governed by the Copyright Act of 1976 requires human authorship in the first instance."
"An amicus brief filed by a collection of university professors urged the Supreme Court to grant Thaler's petition and rule against the D.C. Circuit to support continued development of nascent AI technology and prevent inequalities that could negatively impact independent creators using AI tools."
The U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition for certiorari filed by Dr. Stephen Thaler challenging federal agency and court rulings that prevent copyright registration for images generated entirely by artificial intelligence. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals had affirmed that the Copyright Act of 1976 requires human authorship. The Supreme Court's denial followed the U.S. Solicitor General's recommendation. University professors urged the Court to grant the petition to support AI technology development, while conservative advocacy organizations Phyllis Schlafly Eagles and Eagle Forum ELDF filed an amicus brief arguing AI-created works should not be eligible for copyright protection. The Court's continued silence on AI copyrightability leaves significant legal questions unresolved.
