What the petition asks
AI-generated works should not qualify for copyright. Mirror U.S. courts that have affirmed that copyright requires human authorship.
This petition calls for AI-generated content created without meaningful human creative input to be ineligible for copyright or ownership claims. This aligns with current U.S. legal precedent established in Thaler v. Perlmutter, where federal courts affirmed that copyright requires human authorship. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case, leaving this principle intact. Copyright should protect human creativity, not autonomous machine-generated works.
