This just says that the AI can’t own the copyright, just like how Photoshop, the software program, can’t be granted a copyright but a person using Photoshop can.


This is not what this says. This says that the US Copyright Office currently holds that human authorship is a requirement for any work to be copyrighted. They hold that the AI is a form of non-human creator, and thus all of its works are not eligible for copyright.

I wonder if that applies to AI generated code as well.
