Incorrect. Transfers of copyright agreements must be signed and in writing.

You can't expect a monkey to understand a written agreement so you can't expect the monkey to sign a contract or agreement.

Anyway, as stated before, if the author is not human, it is not eligible for copyright protection. So there is no copyright to transfer.
