cards interface. Give it a try.A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday affirmed that a work of art generated by artificial intelligence without human input cannot be copyrighted under U.S. law.

Tuesday's decision marks the latest attempt by U.S. officials to grapple with the copyright implications of the fast-growing generative AI industry. The Copyright Office has separately rejected artists' bids for copyrights on images generated by the AI system Midjourney. Thaler's attorney Ryan Abbott said he and his client"strongly disagree" with the ruling and intend to appeal. The Copyright Office said in a statement that it"believes the court reached the correct result."

A federal district court judge in Washington upheld the decision in 2023 and said human authorship is a"bedrock requirement of copyright" based on"centuries of settled understanding." Thaler told the D.C. Circuit that the ruling threatened to"discourage investment and labor in a critically new and important developing field."
