Indian Copyright Office: AI can produce work, but cannot be its "author"

Office rejects Stephen Thaler's bid to register the AI system DABUS as author of an artwork, while leaving room for AI-generated works to be copyrighted under a human author.

What to know

  • India's Copyright Office ruled that an AI system cannot be registered as the legal author of a work, rejecting Stephen Thaler's application for his AI system DABUS.
  • The Office indicated AI-generated works can still be eligible for copyright, suggesting authorship must instead be attributed to a human.
  • The ruling mirrors similar authorship disputes internationally, including Canada's pending Federal Court case CIPPIC v. Sahni.
