Fiverr’s CEO Stands in Agreement with U.S. Judge Ruling that AI-Generated Work without Human Involvement is Unfit for Copyright
23 August 2023 - 2:00PM
Micha Kaufman, CEO of Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the
company that is revolutionizing how the world works together, today
announced his support of DC District Court Judge Beryl A. Howell’s
ruling that AI-generated work devoid of human intervention cannot
be granted copyright protection.
“We support this ruling. This is what we’ve been saying all
along,” Kaufman said. “We at Fiverr know that while AI can be a
powerful tool in the creative process, it's the human element that
imbues work with originality.”
Fiverr's platform is built upon the principle of human
collaboration, where freelancers from around the world bring their
expertise to cater to the diverse needs of businesses. Every
project commissioned on Fiverr involves direct interaction and
input from human creators, ensuring that each piece of work carries
a distinct and personalized touch. “If you are hiring a freelancer
on Fiverr, you are getting authentic copyrightable services because
you’re always dealing with humans,” Kaufman points out. “Fiverr’s
commitment to the sanctity of human creativity aligns with Judge
Howell’s ruling, which notes that human authorship is a bedrock
requirement of copyright.”
The opening shot in the battle over AI copyright has been fired
with this clear cut case. However, many questions remain and many
more will be posed as AI becomes integral to people's toolboxes. We
at Fiverr are steadfast in our belief that while AI can augment and
accelerate creative processes, it cannot replicate the depth of
human insight that fuels artistic expression.
