Within the EU, this is not the case - and quite the opposite situation. The EU copyright directive from 2003 rules that only a natural person (a human, not a company) can have copyright ownership on its works. Companies only can own perpetual licenses for these works. Generated art where a machine writes code or produces artwork based on randomization leads to the inventor of the algorithm owning the copyright for it. As there is nothing like "public domain" in the EU area possible, you can only distance yourself from this work with the CC0 license while stating that you cannot offer any warranty and that you cannot be held responsible for malicious use of the product and that users of the product use it with their own risk.
