Brandon Stanton, founder of Humans of New York (HONY), criticized Humans of Bombay for filing a copyright infringement lawsuit against a similar platform. Stanton, seen as a pioneer of the storytelling movement, expressed discontent with the lawsuit, stating that Humans of Bombay should not sue others for something he had forgiven them for. The controversy arose when Humans of Bombay initiated legal action against its competitor, People of India, for allegedly replicating their storytelling approach and violating copyright. The Delhi High Court has scheduled a hearing for the case on October 11.

A court ruled that artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot be credited as authors under current copyright law, which requires human authorship. The case involved Stephen Thaler's AI, "Creativity Machine," which he argued should be recognized as an author. The court disagreed, noting that copyright laws are designed for humans, referencing characteristics machines lack, such as lifespans and intentions. Thaler plans to appeal, arguing his AI is "sentient." The court suggests legislative changes for AI-generated works recognition.

The rise of generative AI tools is set to become an essential part of everyday work life in 2024. However, this also brings new challenges in cybersecurity, particularly in dealing with data poisoning attacks. Data poisoning occurs when bad actors manipulate training data to compromise the performance and output of AI models. These attacks can be difficult to detect and correct, making it crucial for organizations to implement proactive measures to safeguard their AI systems. This includes ensuring clean and unmanipulated training data, employing statistical methods to detect anomalies, controlling access to data sets, and continuously monitoring model performance.

The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has released guidance stating that artificial intelligence (AI) systems cannot be listed as inventors in patent applications, but humans utilizing AI tools must disclose their use in the invention process. The USPTO clarified that a person who asks an AI system to create something and oversees it does not qualify as an inventor, though individuals significantly contributing to the conception of an invention by constructing prompts to elicit specific solutions from AI systems can be granted patents. The ruling follows previous court decisions that AI systems cannot be granted copyright.

The US Copyright Office Review Board has rejected copyright protection for an AI-generated artwork that won an art contest because it lacks human authorship. The board ruled that the artwork contains more than a de minimis amount of content generated by AI, requiring a disclaimer for registration. The decision is consistent with Copyright Office precedent and legal review, which mandates human authorship for copyright registration. The artist, Jason M. Allen, created the artwork using an AI image synthesis service and edited it with Adobe Photoshop. Allen's application for copyright registration was denied after he refused to disclaim the AI-generated content.
