Aug 21 (Reuters) - "A work of art created by artificial intelligence without any human input cannot be copyrighted under U.S. law, a U.S. court in Washington, D.C., has ruled.
Only works with human authors can receive copyrights, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said on Friday, affirming the Copyright Office's rejection of an application filed by computer scientist Stephen Thaler on behalf of his DABUS system.
The Friday decision follows losses for Thaler on bids for U.S. patents covering inventions he said were created by DABUS, short for Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience."

Thaler's attorney, Ryan Abbott, on Monday said that he and his client strongly disagree with the decision and will appeal. The Copyright Office in a statement on Monday said it "believes the court reached the correct result."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't a guaranteed win; it does not mean there aren't loopholes or exploitative capitalist bastards who will use AI to save as much money as possible regardless of putting actual people out of work amidst economic crisis; but for fuck's sake IT IS SOMETHINGGG and I am going to hold onto this little grain of hope with all my being.
