There was a case in which a monkey took a picture and the owner of the camera wanted to publish the photo. Peta sued and lost because an animal can't hold any copyright as an human author is required for copyright.

As you also find in the wikipedia article, this case is used to argue that ai generated content is not by an human author and consequently not copyrightable.
