Randy McCarthy of Hall Estill called the case “profoundly significant” because it is the first circuit court opinion addressing the issue of autonomous AI generated works. He continued:
“However, both sides have compelling arguments… Interestingly, both sides are relying on the same Supreme Court cases, but are drawing opposite conclusions as to what these cases imply… “Regardless whether the DC Circuit decides to grant this motion and rehear this case, the decision will ultimately be up to the Supreme Court to decide.”
