- Plaintiff Stephen Thaler sued the US Copyright Office to try and have his AI system listed as the creator of an artwork.
- But a federal judge ruled against him, because "human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright."
- The ruling could impact the strikes in Hollywood, where AI is a key issue.
A federal judge ruled that a piece of art generated by AI can't be copyrighted, a decision that could have consequences for Hollywood studios.
The lawsuit, first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, was brought against the US Copyright Office by plaintiff Stephen Thaler, in an attempt to list his own AI system as the sole creator of an artwork called "A Recent Entrance to Paradise."
