Although DALL-E’s first appearance required a little more professionalism, the developments and different applications since then have made it possible for anyone who can connect to the Internet to produce images. However, as a result of this, the number of people who produced 3-5 images and wrote artists in their biographies skyrocketed.
Of course, we are not saying anything bad to our artists here. On the contrary, if you follow our social media channels, we create joint projects with many artists using artificial intelligence tools. Here, it is necessary to evaluate how he uses the artificial intelligence tool while making the artist distinction. A judge from the American Federal Courts ruled that the image obtained by artificial intelligence cannot be copyrighted.
“Humanity is an essential part of any valid copyright.”
On the basis of the incident brought to the court, there is the image presented by Stephen Thaler, which you can see above. He frequently applied to the US Copyright Office to obtain the copyright of the image he produced. If this application was approved, Thaler would appear as the creator and owner of the image. But it was repeatedly rejected.
Thaler, who was also rejected last year, ultimately sought to sue the Copyright Office, arguing that it was illegal and arbitrary. But Federal Court judge Beryl Howell said in his ruling that copyright is not given to any work that does not contain human hands, and that this is the cornerstone for copyright.
After that, the judge said that he was aware that the artists used artificial intelligence in their works, not as a complete tool, and in the future, “How much of a work must be made by humans in order to be copyrighted?” He said it would raise questions like:
Thaler finally shared that he did not agree with the judge. What would your answer be to this question? Do you think Thaler was right in his judgment?
