Landmark Ruling by U.K.: AI Cannot Be Patent Inventor

[engine]

The U.K.'s Supreme Court has ruled that AI cannot be a Patent Inventor, and "an inventor must be a natural person".

Judge David Kitchin said in the court's written ruling that the case was "not concerned with the broader question whether technical advances generated by machines acting autonomously and powered by AI should be patentable".
