The Personhood Barrier: Why the US Supreme Court and UK Creators Just Slammed the Door on AI Copyright

### Executive Summary: The report summarizes recent legal and policy developments regarding AI-generated content and copyright: the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, effectively affirming that works created solely by AI lack copyright protection, while the U.K. government has suspended a contentious data bill that would have allowed AI companies to train models on copyrighted materials without explicit consent after strong opposition from creators; authorities will reassess a licensing-first approach. This is a legal/policy analysis, not a cybersecurity incident report.
