The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rules that artificial intelligence (AI) may not be listed as an author of inventions.
The USPTO “recognizes that while an AI system may not be named an inventor or joint inventor in a patent or patent application, an AI system—like other tools—may perform acts that, if performed by a human, could constitute inventorship under our laws.”
Neither can AI be considered as an author in Russia: according to Art.1347 of the Civil Code, "the author of an invention, utility model or industrial design is a citizen by whose creative labour the intellectual property has been created".
