The UK Supreme Court has recently ruled that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be recognized as an inventor under the Patents Act 1977. This landmark decision comes after Dr. Stephen Thaler, the creator of an AI system called DABUS, filed patent applications listing the AI as the inventor. The court concluded that only natural persons can hold inventorship status, emphasizing that current patent laws do not extend to AI-generated inventions. This ruling is expected to influence global discussions on AI and intellectual property rights.
