S. S. No. 10 C 13/2023-1 (in Czech language).

  • On 11 October 2023, in its judgment No. 10 C 13/2023-1, Municipal Court in Prague addressed the question of whether or not a person can be identified as the author of a graphic image created by means of artificial intelligence and claim copyrights.

  • The answer is dealt with by obiter dictum in the judgment. The Court found that the graphic image created by artificial intelligence does not constitute a work of authorship. It is not an unique result of the author’s creative activity. It was not created by plaintiff, but by artificial intelligence, which cannot itself be the author, since it is not a person, let alone a natural person.
