In line with decisions made in other jurisdictions, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation in Mexico confirmed that works created exclusively by artificial intelligence cannot be protected under copyright law, since the law safeguards only creativity and originality derived from human intervention.
The case in question upheld the refusal of the National Copyright Institute to register the work Avatar Virtual, known for having been created with the artificial intelligence “Leonardo.” The Court argued that it lacked the essential subjective factor required to meet the originality standard: the reflection of the author’s individuality and personality in the creation.
This ruling sets a precedent by reaffirming that originality and human intervention are essential elements for the protection of artistic works, which are decisive when granting or denying their legal recognition.
