1. US Federal Judge rules AI-generated art can't be ‘copyrighted' 

A US Federal Judge, Beryl A. Howell, has declared that AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted. This ruling came in response to a lawsuit against the US Copyright Office by Stephen Thaler, who sought copyright for an AI-generated image, the Verge reported. Judge Howell stated that copyright requires human authorship and that AI lacks the necessary human touch. However, she recognised that AI's role in art creation raises complex questions for future copyright law.

5. Iowa faculty confronts new era of AI as classes commence

As classes resume at Iowa State University, faculty is grappling with the AI age. Professor Michael Bugeja, concerned about AI-generated misinformation (hallucinations), addresses the use of AI in his syllabus, the Gazette reports. He urges students not to substitute critical thinking with AI assistance for discussion responses. Plagiarism, misrepresentation, and shortcuts also worry educators, even as AI aids in improving efficiency, creativity, and skill improvement. Bugeja told the Gazette, "If you use ChatGPT to help you write a discussion-board response, you will be cheating yourself of the critical thinking that is a hallmark of this class. Chatbots can inspire you. That is fine. But you should write the content."
